Wood County
Progressive Safety Day
Volunteers from across the state gathered
in Wood County for the annual Progresssive
Safety Day. Students from county schools
learned valuable information that someday
might save their lives or help them keep others
from harm. “We’d give up every field trip except
this,” said Mineral Wells teacher Darcella Maul.
“The kids just love it.” From the top: 1) The
Electrical Safety module included a minature
model of an electrical grid; 2) Kids learn the
basics of Fire Safety; 3) Luetta Fluharty shows
special tools used by the disabled; 4) A special
grant allowed for a new Nutrition Workshop;
5) The art of safe ATV riding is demonstrated.
Sponsors of Safety Day included Farm Credit;
John Deere; Crop Production Services; Agrium;
Bunge; CHS; Monsanto; Mosaic Foundation;
DuPont; Toyota; and Wood County Farm
Bureau.
