Ark Prep 101 - Follow Up for the Emergency School Bags!

Emergency School Bags

Follow Up!

I had some people who were interested in starting this

program in their schools and wondered where to start.

In order to start a program like this,

you have to start at the top.

The Principal is the first stop.

Explain the program and how it works.

The next stop would be with the PTA President.

Followed by the Teachers and Parents.

This topic would fall under the

Health and Safety department of the PTA

and would be a great activity to do during

Safety Week.

I have included a letter that could be sent to the

teachers as well as the parents.

The letters include a description of what the

Emergency School Bags are along with a contents list.

Here's the PDF for the Letters:

The Contents Lists are broken up into two lists.

The First List will be purchased in bulk to help save money

and to keep the contents of the bag equal in size and content.

Parents would be responsible for purchasing these items.

The Second List will be provided by the parents of the students.

I am checking the prices of the items in the first list.

I will post the best bulk prices I can find

along with the links to their websites.

I would like to see if I can keep the cost to under $5.00 per bag.

A $.50 fee would be included in the cost so that a class tote

can be purchased.  This will stay in the child's classroom and be

used to store all of the Emergency School Bags.

Hope that helps!

It might take a little bit of time to put together . . . but it will

be time well spent!

I would love to hear what you are doing in your schools

to help with safety and preparedness.
