Livingston County Health Center would like to announce a “Safe Sitter” class being held at their office on Friday, October 24th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  October 24th is a regularly scheduled day off from the Chillicothe R-II district.

The Safe Sitter program has operated since 1980 with the promise of providing medically accurate and developmentally appropriate curriculum that is interactive and engaging for all participants. Students learn how to practice important safety skills, handle emergencies, care for children, and how to treat illnesses and injuries.
