National Stay Cool Day for K–8 schools

April 8, 2027 is a free, age-appropriate heat-safety day for your classrooms and P.E. classes. No fee. No contract. Cool first. Transport second.

No ice tubs. Elementary and K–8 participation is classroom and P.E. education only.

What you get

  • An age-appropriate classroom and P.E. day for younger students.
  • Spot It, Say It, Cool It — a simple routine kids can remember: spot the signs, tell an adult, start cooling.
  • A one-page guide for P.E. teachers, the school nurse, and recess staff.
  • A take-home family page so heat safety carries over to home and weekend play.
