Holy Redeemer Catholic School Earthquake Kit *
Required for every student. Over the past several years, Holy Redeemer Area Catholic School has developed an earthquake safety plan. We have secured first aid supplies; practiced earthquake drills; and teachers have taught earthquake safety procedures to our students. Our earthquake plan calls for each child attending our school to have an emergency kit, here at school, in case they need to remain at school for an extended length of time after an earthquake or other emergency. All students are expected to bring the following items to school each fall. The school will supply a container for storing the individual kits. Your child’s kit will be returned to you at the end of each school year to be re-supplied and returned to school in September of the following year. If possible, please write a short note to your child offering comfort and expressing hope that everyone will soon be together once again. Family picture is optional. Research shows that this communication is very helpful when children are dealing with stressful situations.
Send in a Gallon Ziploc Bag (Please label the bag with your child’s name):
- # 2 boxed drinks
- # 2 cans of food (tuna, meat, etc.) with pop top
- # 2 cans dessert (fruit, pudding, etc.) with pop top
- # 2 packages of granola bars or cheese and cracker-type snacks
- # 2 plastic spoons
- # 1 small, soft package of tissue
- # 1 package of moist towelettes
- # 1 space blanket (optional, but highly recommended)
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT FOOD PRODUCTS DO NOT REQUIRE REFRIGERATION!
