Got 2B Safe! Awards

Teach Safety, Win a Classroom Makeover

Thousands of children are reported missing or are sexually exploited every day. To help teachers and parents educate children about ways to avoid dangerous situations that could lead to abuse or abduction, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Honeywell have partnered to develop Got 2B Safe!

As part of the initiative, awards are given that recognize the best classroom lesson plans created by teachers using four basic rules of safety:

• Check first.
• Go with a friend.
• It's my body.
• Tell a trusted adult.

Five grand prize winners will receive a classroom makeover worth $10,000, and 100 runners-up will receive school supply gift certificates in the amount of $500. Last year, four grand prize winners were NEA members!

The deadline to apply is January 31, 2007. Go to www.got2bsafe.com/ for more information.
