We all share a common goal for our children to be safe and protected from all things harmful.  Related to that goal, school classroom teachers and counselors are required to present annual personal safety lessons designed to prevent a variety of child lures.  The Think First & Stay Safe™ program is a research-based program that teaches specific personal safety education by way of interactive classroom lessons, classroom posters, role-playing and corresponding activities. Think First & Stay Safe™ enables students to take an active and necessary role in protecting themselves. The Health Advisory Committee reviewed and approved this curriculum; and the Health and Physical Education and Counseling Departments selected components that were developmentally appropriate for elementary students and developed lessons around those concepts.
