The Morris County School of Technology’s (MCST) Academy for Education & Learning, Law & Public Safety, and Healthcare Sciences is excited to announce its Teddy Bear Clinic, a fun and educational event for children ages 3-9, taking place on Saturday, May 3rd. This event, running from 10:00 a.m.- 1 p.m at MCST’s Denville campus, will provide children with the opportunity to give their stuffed animals or teddy bears a “check-up” while interacting with local first responders from Denville Police, Fire, EMS, Morris County Sheriff’s Office, Saint Clare’s EMS, and the NJ Forest Fire Service. Children will build personalized first aid kits, gain essential fire safety skills, tackle a fire themed obstacle course, explore the science of fingerprinting, and try on real firefighter gear. Plus, enjoy face painting and a captivating reading by local author Heather Prinzo.
Children will also have a chance to explore real emergency vehicles, including a fire truck, police car, and ambulance. This hands-on experience will allow them to see these vehicles up close and learn about the important roles they play in the community.
The Teddy Bear Clinic would not be possible without the generous support of local businesses and organizations, including The Pasta Shop, Pure Barre, Playa Bowls Denville, Thatcher McGhee’s Denville, Kona Ice, Fully Promoted, Morris County Vocational Technical Education Association and the Morris County School of Technology PTO. Their contributions have been instrumental in making this event a reality.
The event is free and open to the public!
