If you buy a kit now, you will not have to think about it again for five years!
Every student needs to have an emergency kit. Kits contain food, water, emergency blankets and rain ponchos. They are there to support your child incase of an emergency including an earthquake or a school lock-down. You can either supply a kit yourself, or you can purchase a kit through the PTA.
Purchasing from the PTA
This year the PTA is purchasing kits that have a 5 year shelf life. Kits cost $8.00. We will make sure your child has a kit next year. Expired kits will be disposed of at the end of their shelf life. If you would like to prepare a special message for your child please feel free to send it in. Send it to the PTA EHS. Special messages should be clearly marked for with your child’s name and their teacher’s name and can include a note, pictures or information such as phone numbers. Donations for those who cannot afford a kit are always welcome.
Making your own kit
If you choose to make your own kit, please clearly mark it with your child’s name and their teacher’s name. Kits should include an emergency blanket, garbage bag or rain ponchos, 1 liter of water and 2-4 energy or protein bars. You can also include comfort notes, light sticks, or a small flash light.
