Safety

These days, most of us are wearing masks to protect the people around us, as well as ourselves.  The teen volunteers in the EB Red Cross Council made some videos to show you when and where they're wearing theirs!  Kids, you get extra points if you can tell your grown-up what safety mistake one of the teen volunteers makes in one of these video clips!
