Lets Keep Schools Safe

One of the most important responsibilities of a parent is to ensure that our children are safe. That means in our homes, in our car, on the streets, and in our schools. Recent events have drawn attention, and prompted discussions about the safety of students in school. It seems that every day we hear on the news about children (yes, children) bringing guns to school, or violence in our classrooms.

Today's Family First Site is one that is a must have resource for any educator or school administrator to have knowledge of. Called Keep Schools Safe, it is a site with a wealth of information about how it can be accomplished, with involvement by parents and students. Here are some great plans and common sense ideas that can go a long way towards raising awareness to situations, so that they don't escalate into violence.

A site such as this is a great example of the power of the Internet. It serves as a clearinghouse for information, and a conduit to promote discussion among users. The information here is truly relevant to the issues facing our schools today. If we all work together, then we can help make our classrooms a place to learn and grow.
