Emergency Emergency!

Help me give my students some emergency supplies in case of a school wide threat.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Miele's classroom raised $357

This project is fully funded

My Project

This Donors Choose request supply list centers on the safety and well being of all of my students. I have carefully selected the necessary classroom supplies in order to be proactive in case there is a school wide emergency.

I want to have all of the resources needed in order to protect my students and myself from outside strangers entering the school.

I want everyone to feel safe and be able to protect ourselves. Student safety is top priority and I feel that it is my duty to protect them in case there is a threat. As a class, we will learn to use the bats, Dual Function Door Security Bar, first aid kit band aids and other materials to role play/practice various scenarios in the classroom in order for students to know what to expect and what to do. It is very important for students to have some prior experience.
