Simple steps to keep kids safe when it’s hot: 🆒Inside: find the coolest rooms, keep air moving, and make sure cool drinking water is near. 🌞Outside: know where the shade is, take breaks from the sun, and hydrate before kids feel thirsty. 🏫Preparedness can make school safer. #heatagenda

🍎It’s not just teachers. Cafeteria workers next to hot equipment, custodians, and coaches keep a school running and are exposed to heat all day. They deserve cool schools as well! Join us at heatagenda.us if you want to be a part of the solution.

🏫"Safe for most kids" isn't safe enough. The kid with asthma, the kid on certain meds, the kid with impaired mobility, and the kid with no AC waiting at home deserve to be protected too. Join us at heatagenda.us if you want to be a part of the solution.
