Safe at School: A Lockdown Lesson
by Sara Willocks     

Unfortunately, lockdown drills are a reality in our
schools today, but how do we teach young children
in a serious, but nonthreatening way?  This story
takes you through a day in the life of a young child
at school.  All of the children are playing and
enjoying the school day, when suddenly they hear
the signal for a lockdown drill.  The children find
their spots, while the teacher takes care of her
responsibilities.  When the drill is done, the
children are able to go back to having fun at
school.  This book is designed to introduce
children to proper procedure during a lockdown
drill in an age appropriate way.
Sara was born and raised in Boca Raton, Florida.  She
married her high school sweetheart, and they have 2 sons.  
Early in life, Sara realized her joy for educating young
children.  She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in
Elementary Education, and later went on to receive her
master’s degree in Early Childhood Education.  It was during
her time teaching young children that she found a passion for
storytelling, which led to writing children’s stories.
