THIS WEEK'S JOB // Learn the safety rules of the neighborhood before you start building in it. (Book pages 42-51 in Mrs. Gaiser's book.)
THE THREE IDEAS
Private stays private
Full name, address, school, schedule: none of it goes on a page strangers can read. Your shop can be great without telling the street where you sleep.
Passwords are keys
Long beats clever. A password is the key to your shop; you would not use the same key for your house, your bike, and your locker.
People are not always who they say
Online strangers get zero personal information and zero meetings. Tell a parent anything that feels off. Every time. No exceptions.
ON YOUR LOT
Write the three safety rules your own shop will follow, in your own words, and keep them in your binder all year.
