Safety Kit Upgrade

My Project

I am requesting some items that will help keep my learners safer if we ever experience an emergency at school. The blackout shades will cover our windows during lockdown drills. The megaphone will serve as part of our safety kit and also enable our learners to hear instructions during noisy events and on the playground. The batteries will be used to power the megaphone.

In today's world, we have to be prepared for a multitude of emergency situations.

Your donation toward this project will be a gift we hope we will never need to use. Thank you for making our classroom a safer place to learn.
