The American Red Cross Pillowcase Project is a free, interactive preparedness program designed for youth ages 8 to 11. The program aims to increase awareness and understanding of natural hazards and teaches safety, emotional coping skills, and personal preparedness.
Through instructor-led presentations, students learn the best ways to stay safe and how to create their own emergency supply kits by packing essential items in a pillowcase for easy transport during a disaster. Students also have the opportunity to decorate and personalize their pillowcases and share what they’ve learned with friends and family.
Fourth graders in Rooms 27 and 28 participated in sessions with the American Red Cross. We encourage all families to check out the Red Cross website. Because kids are especially vulnerable during disasters and emergencies, helping them be prepared "just in case" can help them through the a stressful event.
