Staying Safe in School
Rosa, a brave 7-year-old, learns about courage and trust as she faces her fears during the school's first lockdown drill.
Rosa was excited about her day at her new school in Portland. But as the teacher explained about a lockdown drill, Rosa felt a little scared. "What if something bad happens?" she thought. The teacher assured them it was just practice, but Rosa couldn't stop worrying. She wanted to be brave, but the idea of a lockdown made her nervous.
The first obstacle came when Rosa tried to listen carefully to the instructions. However, her nervousness made it hard to concentrate. "Rosa, are you okay?" her friend, Maya, asked. Rosa nodded, but she felt a lump in her throat. She didn't want to admit she was scared.
As the day went on, more obstacles appeared. Rosa found it hard to focus on her lessons. During recess, she overheard some older kids talking about scary things that could happen. "I don't want to do the drill," Rosa whispered to herself. She felt like giving up and wanted to go home.
Rosa thought about telling her teacher she wanted to go home. She sat quietly, feeling like she couldn't solve her problem. "Maybe I'm just not brave enough," she thought. But then, she remembered her mom's words: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it."
Just then, the school counselor, Mr. Thompson, came to visit their class. "It's normal to feel scared," he said gently. "But remember, we're all here to keep you safe." Rosa realized she wasn't alone. "We can do this together," she told Maya. She felt a spark of hope.
When the drill began, Rosa took a deep breath and held Maya's hand. They followed the teacher's instructions carefully. "We did it!" Rosa whispered after the drill ended. She felt proud and brave. Rosa learned that courage means facing your fears, and she knew she could trust the adults to keep her safe.
