School...A Place to Learn and Feel Safe

My students need an Intruder Defense System to feel safe and secure in the event of a lockdown.

My Students

I work in a very small school in Tennessee. I have 27 students in my homeroom and 25 in my second class. My classroom has one door and three large windows that lead to a sidewalk below. We have one safe exit and the three large windows which would be dangerous to jump out of if an intruder were inside our building. We are asking for an Intruder Defense System to help secure our safe exit from an intruder.

My Project

We will use the Intruder Defense System in the event of an intruder in the building. This defense system will allow students to feel safe and secure while at school. This product will make a difference in my students' learning because they will no longer have to worry about an intruder being in our building. My students will not have to sit in a classroom that only has one exit and wonder if an intruder can make it through our door. The defense system will provide my students with the peace of mind of knowing that our room is secure while they are there.
