Eagle Scout donates safety buckets to JWES

Local Eagle Scout, Dakota, choose Whitehead ES as the recipient of his Eagle Scout project. Dakota created Code Red Emergency buckets for each classroom at our school.

 If our teachers and students ended up in a lockdown these buckets could be openned and inside are items such as snacks, water, flashlight with batteries etc. 

In order to complete this project, Dakota raised the funds to purchase all of the needed items for each bucket. He raised $150 more than was needed, so he chose to donate a check for $150 to Whitehead ES so that we can replenish any of the buckets or the items in them as needed. 

We are so grateful that Dakota thought of us in completing his Eagle Scout project and we congratulate him on his accomplishment.
