Lake County International Charter School, CA


Our elementary school teaches a health and wellness class. One week of the class focuses on safety. We will introduce students to the four safety skills by teaching our 'Got 2B Safe' song in the beginning of our safety week.

Students will learn about the four safety skills through many activities, including demonstrating what they have learned by role playing and creating a skit about how to be safe.

At the end of the week students will teach the whole school (and other schools and organizations within our community over the next couple of months) our 'Got 2B Safe' song and perform the safety skit for our school assembly.

After the assembly each classroom will create a safety mural, showing the four safety skills learned. The murals will be distributed throughout the community to teach about safety. We will also record on video our students performing the safety skit and singing the 'Got 2B Safe' song. This video will be given to our local police department to use for school presentations in the future.

'Got 2B Safe'
Chorus: (2x)
Got 2B safe
Got 2B strong
Got 2 think smart
Got 2 take care of my body

Rap:
Got 2 check first with my parents
Got 2 always stay with a friend
Got 2 tell a trusted adult when I’m in doubt
Got 2 take care of my self
Got 2 do what I know is right
And then I know everything will all work out

Chorus (2x)
