Three Sisters has booked two sessions of Escape School. The goal is to show every family how to be smart, not scared, and to arm children and their parents with abduction-prevention tips and tactics. (See the Escape School website here.) We have not seen a similar program offered by local police departments. This is our “stranger danger” class of choice.
Conducted free of charge by a trained Dignity Memorial® associate, the program teaches children how to differentiate between good and bad strangers, the common lures abductors use, how to “get away, right away,” and how to find help when needed. In addition to teaching key concepts in an entertaining and non-threatening manner, presenters enlist the aid of children from the audience to demonstrate several simple yet highly effective techniques for escaping dangerous situations. Recommended ages 5 – 10 years old. Parents will need to stay with kids. If there are younger siblings present, we’d like you to try and stay in the room as a family; the library is available if younger kids need to leave with a parent. After the one-hour class is over, you may retrieve your older kids.
Registration is open now via email for the following classes:
Monday, Sept. 20 at 4 p.m. – 5 p.m. OR Tuesday, Sept. 21 from 4 – 5 p.m.
– removed for safety and “crowd control” –
Send email to see3sis@yahoo.com, indicate which day you want, and how many people (adults and kids) you are registering. Do not leave a comment as your RSVP. You will receive a confirmation email.

UPDATE: As of 8/31, Monday class is almost full. Tuesday’s class is still fairly open.
We will not be booking a third class. After consulting with the presenter, we will instead be working our waiting list into our room’s capacity. Email was sent to those on the waiting list this morning.
