Think First & Stay Safe |
We all share a common goal for our children to be safe and protected from all things harmful. The Think First & Stay Safe™ program is a research-based program that teaches specific personal safety education by way of interactive classroom lessons, classroom posters, role plays and corresponding activities to prevent abuse and exploitation. A parent preview of the new program will be February 27 and 28 in the counseling suite. During the month of March, our school counselor will offer the sexual abuse prevention and safety lessons to all K-5 students. Please contact Angel Cunningham, at 770-736-5278 if you have any questions or concerns. |
