HOME ALONE events are designed by H2O high school leaders and staff to convey important safety information to 9–12-year-old students in an engaging, meaningful way.
Students must be accompanied by at least one parent or guardian.
Students must also be Lakewood residents to attend.
During each 2.5-hour training, students will rotate with their assigned group through six interactive safety presentations led by H2O high school leaders. HOME ALONE event topics include:
* Emergencies – How and when to Call 9-1-1
* Basic First Aid – What to do if accidents or injuries occur.
* Tricky People & Street Smarts – How to avoid potentially dangerous situations.
* Routines and Siblings – Establishing house rules and role-playing conflict resolution.
* Internet Safety – Advice for maintaining positive, healthy experiences online.
* Mental Health & Wellness – Building resilience and maintaining a healthy mind and body.
While students are engaged with the high school leaders, their parents/guardians will receive valuable safety information presented by local experts from Lakewood Police, Fire and EMS, as well as a cyber-crime against children and adult education expert from the Geauga County Office of the Prosecutor.
There is a FAMILY FEE of $15 to attend HOME ALONE, which includes materials students and parents receive at the event. Families registering more than one child between the ages of 9-12 do not have to purchase extra tickets to register additional children. Each ticket admits all children of qualifying age and their parents/guardians.
Please email emmie.hutchison@lakewoodoh.net for financial assistance to cover the fee.
