The name conjurs up a vision of escaping FROM school, doesn't it? But actually it's a program teaching HOW to escape, or better yet, how to avoid abduction.

Escape School is a nationally recognized child-abduction/prevention and evasion program designed to teach families critical abduction-prevention and survival tactics. Every day the news media carries stories about crimes against children. These stories consistently produce fears and questions in the minds of parents and children alike. Escape School was developed to combat this fear of child abduction and to empower parents and their children.

Thanks so much for your reply. I just put out a flyer with the highlights and our local Starbucks is donating a gift basket to help us draw out the families. It does sound like an interesting evening. Thanks again, sj

Our school did one in the fall. If well publicized, you'll get a nice turnout. We invited neighboring schools' kids and parents as well and had about 100 turn up for the presentation/PTA meeting.

For those unfamiliar with Escape School, it is a child safety program that is presented by hundreds of Funeral Homes across the country. This is a good FREE program for all audiences from Pre-K to Middle School-age children. Not too scary, easy-to-understand information and lots of opportunities for kids to "volunteer" for skits and demonstrations.

It is a GREAT program to combine with an evening PTA/PTO meeting to boost attendance.
