Prepare with Pedro with the American Red Cross

Program for kids in grades K-2.

Come to the library to learn all about emergency preparedness with the American Red Cross! This program will teach kids to identify the best ways to stay safe during emergencies, use coping skills to help manage stress, gain confidence in their abilities to be prepared, use their knowledge to act as advocates for preparedness, and discuss the role science plays in emergency preparedness. All children who participate will receive a storybook to share what they have learned at home. For more about Prepare with Pedro, see the Prepare with Pedro page on the American Red Cross website.
