Honeywell and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC) launched the sixth annual “Got 2B Safe!” Awards program. The program is designed to encourage teachers at U.S. elementary schools to help their students learn valuable and potentially life-saving lessons. While most are recovered quickly, the U.S. Department of Justice reports that an estimated 2,000 children are reported missing each day.
Got 2B Safe! provides teachers with child safety teaching tools and annually recognizes five teachers who develop the most creative lesson plans. Winners receive a classroom makeover worth $10,000 and 100 other teachers will win $500 worth of school supplies. Makeovers include an overall redesign of the classroom with themes chosen by the teachers, and materials including the Got 2B Safe! safety rules.
Educators can log on to http://www.got2bsafe.com/ for more information about the contest and to submit an essay emphasizing how they effectively taught their students the Got 2B Safe! “Four Rules of Safety” for a chance to win.
The Got 2B Safe! Awards program will be open until March 25, 2011.
