Snow safety outreach program focuses South Lake Tahoe youth

The City of South Lake Tahoe’s Public Works Snow Removal Operation visited Sierra House Elementary Schools kindergarten and first grade classes to promote snow safety today. Street Supervisor Azril Kalik shared important safety reminders to Ms. Wilson and Ms. Tabor’s first graders.

“When you see the snow removal machines in your neighborhood, it’s important to go inside and play to remain safe. Remember to keep toys, sleds, shovels and your pets out of the road so they do not get damaged,” said Kalik.

Other important safety tips are for students to remain at the bus stop and to not play in the streets throughout the year and for students to wear their seat belts at all times when traveling in vehicles.

A snow motor grader and a snow blower were on site for students to view and go inside of after the classroom presentation. Presentations are scheduled for Bijou, Tahoe Valley, and Environmental Science Magnet elementary schools throughout this week.
