About Got 2B Safe!- A Partnership of Honeywell and NCMEC

Got 2B Safe Program:

Teaching personal safety skills has never been more important. The world can be a dangerous place for our children. Every day, more than 2,100 U.S. children are reported missing and thousands more are exposed to dangerous situations that didn’t exist when we were young. Through the donations of more than 4,000 Honeywell employees, Got 2B Safe! has been distributed to every elementary school in America, more than 72,000 schools, to reach over 5 million children with life-saving lessons. With initiatives like Got 2B Safe!, Honeywell Hometown Solutions is delivering programs in Family Safety & Security to help keep our communities safer - one child, one teacher, one family at a time.

Got 2B Safe! Awards Program

The Got 2B Safe! Awards program was developed by Honeywell and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) in 2005 to recognize those teachers with the greatest commitment to child safety. The program is designed to encourage teachers at elementary schools nationwide to teach their students valuable and potentially life-saving lessons. Teachers can enter by logging on to www.got2bsafe.com and submitting a one-page lesson plan that emphasizes the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety. The program is open to U.S. teachers at accredited schools. The teachers with the top five entries receive free classroom makeovers valued at $10,000 and have their entries featured on the Honeywell Got 2B Safe! website. Additionally, another 100 teachers will receive gift certificates for classroom supplies valued at $500.
