Bus Safety Drills

We conducted bus safety and evacuation drills this week with each grade level.

6th grade safety drill

Students practiced a variety of safety drills, including how to properly buckle bus safety belts, how to safely evacuate the bus during an emergency, and how to be a safe pedestrian. We are reminding students that pedestrian safety is especially important around Halloween.  We also discussed the importance of walking with a buddy and not talking to strangers.  The students know if anything out of the ordinary happens they are to tell an adult right away.  Please ask your student(s) what they learned during their bus safety drills this week. 

The award winning LIS Character Kickoff event is coming soon... Friday, October 26, 2012.  All the students will have an opportunity to create a class banner that identifies the character education theme that they will work to achieve this school year, along with all of the activities connected to event.  We will again have the LHS Peer Leaders come to LIS to assist our classrooms with all of the day's activities.  Character Kickoff is always one of the best days of the school year!!!

4th Grade "Walk This Way" Program

Safe Kids Worldwide and program sponsor FedEx created Safe Kids Walk This Way to teach safe behavior to motorists and child pedestrians and create safer, more walkable communities. On October 3, our 4th grade students had the opportunity to practice pedestrian safety and to see the inside of a FedEx truck.
