MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., May 12, 2009 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children(R) (NCMEC) today announced the winners of the fourth annual Got 2B Safe! Awards Program that recognizes teachers committed to keeping children safer from abduction and sexual exploitation. This year, the program honors 105 teachers from 32 states, including five Grand Prize winners that have created effective techniques to teach children the important safety rules in the Got 2B Safe! Program.

"Honeywell has a long standing commitment to family safety and security. With Got 2B Safe! we are helping to protect our nation's children from abduction and exploitation," said Tom Buckmaster, president, Honeywell Hometown Solutions. "We are thrilled to honor these teachers for their efforts to provide life-saving lessons to their students and bringing vital awareness to such an important issue."

Though many are recovered quickly, the U.S. Department of Justice reports that 797,500 children were reported missing during a one year period of time. That results in an average of 2,185 children reported missing each day. These numbers highlight the need for increased child safety programming in our schools.

In 2003, Honeywell and NCMEC created the Got 2B Safe! program to arm teachers, parents and children with vital child safety skills. This year, five Grand Prize winners will receive a free eco-classroom makeover from national design firm, DesignCentrix, valued at $10,000, and 100 First Prize winners will receive $500 worth of school supplies. To enter, teachers submitted a lesson plan or essay demonstrating how they taught the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety.

The five Grand Prize winners include:
-- Danielle Kovach, Hopatcong, NJ: Danielle's program, "Superheroes of
Safety" teaches the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety through
fictional comic book heroes who demonstrate the appropriate ways to
act in any potentially un-safe situation.

-- Dr. Rewa Chisholm, Tampa, FL: Rewa's plan begins with a discussion
with her class about the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety, after
which the students create a skit based on the rules, develop posters
to be hung throughout the school, and create safety brochures that
would be displayed in the library and main office.

-- Amanda Sechrist, Mt. Airy, NC: Amanda's program creates an interactive
"town" called Got 2B Safetyville. After reviewing the rules, the
students use refrigerator boxes to build the town and then invite
community members (police, firemen, parents, etc.) to visit the town
and participate in safety activities.

-- Courtney Arthur, Chicago, IL: Courtney makes each of her students a
"Safety Expert" on one of the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety. The
Safety Experts teach the rules to the rest of the school, and then
each class is invited to participate in a school-wide "Safety Idol"
where the students present a song, skit or dance based on the rules in
front of a group of judges that includes Chicago police officers.

-- Matt Norvel, Brandenton, FL: Matt's week-long program incorporates a
different safety activity on each day. Activities include puppet
shows that introduce the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety, inviting
fifth grade students and police officers to come in and perform skits
and chants to reinforce the rules, and conducting a Got 2B Safe!
assembly during report card pickup night.

"This year is the 25th anniversary for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. And though our methods may have changed with the times, our core mission of helping children lead safer lives has remained the same," said Ernie Allen, NCMEC president and CEO. "The Got2B Safe! Program speaks directly to that mission by putting child safety tools into the hands of educators, parents and ultimately, children. We are grateful to Honeywell for their continued support and to these exceptional teachers for the differences they are making in the lives of the children they teach."

The Got 2B Safe! Program provides four simple rules for children to follow with the help of their families and teachers. Additional information is available at www.got2bsafe.com.

Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety:

1. Check First -- Children should always check with parents and guardians before accepting gifts, rides or invitations from anyone, including friends, acquaintances and people they don't know.

2. Go With a Friend -- Simple and straightforward -- never go anywhere alone. Being with another person in public is safer and more fun.

3. It's My Body -- Teach your children they have the right to say NO to any unwelcome, uncomfortable, or confusing touch or actions by others.

4. Tell a Trusted Adult -- Teach your children to TELL a trusted adult -- parent, guardian, teacher, etc. -- if anyone or anything makes them feel scared, uncomfortable or confused.

"The classroom makeover was about something for my students and for the school," said Jennifer Atkinson, 2008 Grand Prize winner. "Being able to reward them with something wonderful like this to come into every single day makes them want to go out and spread the word of Got 2B Safe!. They've been empowered to do that."

This year, as a way to address the increasing importance of energy-efficiency, green building and bringing schools up to 21st century standards, the classroom makeovers will also incorporate greening initiatives, such as:

-- Using non-toxic and non-lead, fume-free paints;
-- using recycled rugs or rugs made from recycled fibers;
-- replacing all light bulbs with energy-efficient lighting, such as
low-mercury fluorescent bulbs;
-- recycling all materials removed from the classroom and deliver to
local recycling plants;
-- installing color-coded bins for recycling paper, plastics and aluminum
separately; and
-- as budget allows, any other initiatives that can help improve a
classroom's green performance.
