Fort Wayne, IN (February 20, 2012) - For the second year in a row, the Mad Ants have partnered with the City of Kendallville, the Kendallville Police Department, and East Noble School Corporation to host a safety program in every elementary school within the East Noble School Corporation.
This program consist of Rob Wiley, the Kendallville Police Chief, visiting schools to lead a short assembly that teaches students in the Noble County area proper safety procedures that they face each day. Students are also introduced to the Safe Haven decal that will be distributed throughout homes and businesses in the Noble County area. At the assembly, each student will also receive a workbook and pencil. T-shirts and Mad Ants tickets to the Mad Ants game on Saturday, March 3rd which will be designated Noble County Night, will be distributed by the schools through the Character Counts Program.

"There is no more important priority for any of us than providing a safe community for our children."
The Mad Ants will take on the Los Angeles D-Fenders in a 7:30pm game for Noble County night! Noble County sponsors and groups will be recognized at the game.
