Safety SAM
The Story of SAM: The Safety Squirrel
Deep in the heart of a big, bustling forest, where train tracks wind through the trees and trucks roll along the highway, lived a clever, curious, and safety conscious squirrel named SAM.
Unlike other squirrels who spend their days simply gathering acorns, SAM has a special mission—teaching others how to stay safe!
SAM’s name stands for something very important:
Safety Always Matters.
