Since 2006, NFPA has partnered with Scholastic, Inc., the
popular producer of educational literature and programs for
children, to develop and distribute lesson plans and activities
tied to NFPA's Fire Prevention Week (FPW) themes. The two
organizations plan to address this year's theme, "Have Two Ways
Out," and reach an estimated 10.6 million children via take-home
packages, activity sheets, and other materials produced in both
English and Spanish that highlight escape planning. Judy
Comoletti, NFPA's division director of Public Education,
underscores the successes of such a partnership in the
September/October issue of NFPA Journal. "Typically, our program
receives high praise, with more than 90 percent of the teachers
rating the program very to extremely useful," she says.
"Teachers like the interactive aspects of the program." Learn
about these tools and other aspects of FPW in NFPA Journal. And
