Halloween

Halloween is a lot of fun. But to keep having fun, it’s important to be safe. When you’re out trick-or-treating, make sure you follow these rules:

Always trick-or-treat with an adult. Never trick-or-treat alone.
Carry a flashlight and a bright-colored trick-or-treat bag.
Be very careful when crossing streets. (See Street Safety.)
Walk on sidewalks, not in yards.
Don’t run. Trick-or-treat in neighborhoods you know at homes of people you know.
Do not eat any treats until you get home and have them checked by an adult.
Never eat any candy that has loose or open wrappers.
Wash all fruit and cut it into pieces to check it before eating.
Never trust anyone you don’t know or recognize.
