Garden City Public Schools

On Nov. 21, students at Garden City Middle School attended a “TRACKS: Together Railroads and Communities Keeping Safe” presentation, led by the MTA Police Department and Garden City Police Department Youth Detective Steve Roumeliotis.

The assembly focused on educating students about safety around railroad tracks, crossings and platforms. Students also learned important tips on bicycle safety and staying safe in crowded areas. The program included a demonstration by the MTA Police Department K-9 unit, giving students a firsthand look at safety in action.

“We are thankful for our partnership with the MTA and the Garden City Police Department,” said Dr. Daniel Fasano, assistant principal of Garden City Middle School. “Our number one goal is to do all we can to keep our children safe both inside and outside the classroom.”
