Fireworks Education Curriculum Kits
The American Pyrotechnics Safety & Education Foundation was founded one year ago as an educational initiative to instill in young people an understanding of how fireworks should be use appropriately, discourage misuse of fireworks, and decrease the number of fireworks related injuries in the U.S.

The Foundation has contracted with noted public relations firm Widmeyer Communications to develop curriculum kits as a learning tool to be delivered to teachers, administrators, and other youth educators.  Foundation Michael Ingram will provide an overview of this effort and the next steps at the Welcome Breakfast in Denver.
