A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
What I appreciate about my 7th graders is that they love to help others. If an activity or project will involve assisting others, my students get so excited and involved that they do not mind researching and learning. My students learn leadership skills during project-based learning and are filled with high self-esteem and confidence, which helps them become well-rounded healthy individuals.
My students will become confident leaders educating their school community and community at large.
Our school is preparing to have an Emergency Preparedness Fair and we need the resources that will help my students to become confident leaders educating our school community and community at large.
My school is located in a suburb of Los Angeles with many of our students qualifying for free lunch and breakfast. Living in California, we have to prepare for earthquakes which can occur at any moment. For many of my students, working on our school's Emergency Preparedness Fair will be the first time they will serve the community. This experience will help my students realize their potential leadership skills and the power of being heard.
My Project
Our school is planning to have an Emergency Preparedness Fair for the students at our middle school and for our community too. I have requested resources that will help my students educate others on emergency preparedness and possibly save lives.
The donated goods will be the essential tools to help my students educate others on emergency preparedness and possibly save lives.
I have requested hard hats and emergency vests. These resources will help everyone attending our Emergency Preparedness Fair that my students are the educators of this event. In fact, I will be using the labels requested to label students' hard hats and emergency vest with the words: Master of Disaster Specialist. Given this role, my students will strive to be as professional as they can be in educating their peers and community members.
I have also requested markers, posters, and tape to assist my students in creating posters to share their researched knowledge of emergency preparedness topics. My students need the best art supplies because their informative posters may be the most important posters they will ever make because they can save lives.
The plastic bags will be used so families can carry brochures that we will distribute from the American Red Cross and FEMA on Emergency Preparedness. The Swiss Safe 5-in-1 Fire Starter will be shared during the Fair as a sample of an important item to include in an emergency kit. For my students, this event is not just an assignment for an academic grade. It is an assignment to help save lives and my students need the best resources to fulfill this task successfully.
