Safety Matters

Help me give my students a safety backpack for easier carry in the event of an emergency.

My Project

Years ago our PTA made emergency buckets for every teacher in the school. As I greatly appreciate their effort, these buckets make it hard to reassess what is in them each year. I already have some emergency items to go in the backpacks, but feel that having this backpack and these few other needed emergency items would be very beneficial as it would be easier to switch out expired items.

The buckets are almost impossible to open and have expired treats in it.

I would like to shift to a backpack that is easier to open and easier to assign a student to grab on the way out of the classroom for drills as well as actual emergencies.
