Project Mission:

Traditionally schools have a basic first aid kit in the nurse’s office. Times have changed. This is inefficient in the event of a natural disaster or unprecedented event of violence. With your support, our goal is to be the first school district to have an all hazards emergency kit in every classroom. Although we hope to never use these tools, being unprepared is just not acceptable. There is nothing more important that the safety and wellbeing of our students.

Way to go Rick! Our own Rick Webber is on a mission to help keep Monroe students and staff safe in Monroe Schools. Rick was recently interviewed by Q13 Fox News about the All Hazard Emergency Kits.

FAQs

Q: Will there be training for use of kits and kit supplies? 
A: Yes, we will be creating a online training video for staff and students to watch. 

Q: Aren’t these kits available for purchase online?  
A: Yes, most kits with these contents retail for $200-$250.  Buying in bulk and having staff members personal stock kits has lowered the price point to $150.

Q: How were the contents decided on? 
A: Through collaboration with school administration, school security manager and local EMS professionals, it was decided that this was the best combination of necessary tools for a list of emergencies.  Although, no kit is perfect, it is a step in the right direction. 

Q: Can I sponsor a particular classroom or school? 
A: Yes, when checking out, you can request a classroom or school.  If that class has already been sponsored, it will go to another class in that school. Please note that kits for Chain Lake Elementary have been fully funded.
