Please note the *NEW* location for hosting HOME ALONE: Cove Community Center. The building's parking lot is on the corner of Cove and Clifton, though the official address is Lake Ave.
HOME ALONE events are designed by H2O high school leaders and staff to convey important safety information to 9–12-year-old students in an engaging, meaningful way.
Students must be accompanied by at least one parent or guardian.
Students must also be Lakewood residents to attend.
During each 2.5-hour training, students will rotate with their assigned group through six interactive safety presentations led by H2O high school leaders. HOME ALONE event topics include:
* Emergencies – How and when to Call 9-1-1
* Basic First Aid – What to do if accidents or injuries occur.
* Tricky People & Street Smarts – How to avoid potentially dangerous situations.
* Routines and Siblings – Establishing house rules and role-playing conflict resolution.
* Internet Safety – Advice for maintaining positive, healthy experiences online.
* Mental Health & Wellness – Building resilience and maintaining a healthy mind and body.
While students are engaged with the high school leaders, their parents/guardians will receive valuable safety information presented by local experts from Lakewood Police, Fire and EMS, as well as a cyber-crime against children and adult education expert from the Geauga County Office of the Prosecutor.
There is a FAMILY FEE to attend HOME ALONE, which includes materials students and parents receive at the event. Families registering more than one child between the ages of 9-12 do not have to purchase extra tickets to register additional children. Each ticket admits all children of qualifying age and their parents/guardians.
Please email emmie.hutchison@lakewoodoh.net for financial assistance to cover the fee.
