Julie Kennedy's Let's Be Safe, Fire Drill
Winner of the 2015 Safe to Learn Excellence in Education for the Outstanding School Safety Project

Miss Julie's Let's be Safe - Fire Drills program is designed to reinforce her message that school is a safe place for students.  She created her program at the preschool where she teaches in Redmond, Washington.  The first draft of her Let's be Safe - Fire Drills Guide was included in the Pilot Test Project  with Lamar Consolidated Independent School District (LCISD) in Texas during 2015.  The group of principals, assistant principals and administrators from LCISD previewed Miss Julie's Let's Be Safe - Fire Drills Guide, provided excellent suggestions and encouraged her to develop Let's Be Safe - Fire Drills for kindergarten teachers.
