Master Lock Combination Lock Prize Pack Summer Giveaway Eases Back to School Locker Anxiety

July 1, 2014 By Leticia

Master Lock Combination Lock Prize Pack Summer Giveaway Eases Back to School Locker Anxiety

As a member of Master Lock’s Live Secure Safety Squad, I have been compensated for my time in writing this post and receive samples for review.

Even though summer is here, many families are already dealing with some school anxiety in anticipation of the coming year. One source of anxiety for tweens who transition from elementary to middle school is lockers. Troublesome locks on and the short amount of time between classes can make some kids dread having to store their belongings in lockers. This summer take some time to help your soon-to-be middle school student select a lock so they can practice over the summer.

My picks for easy to use locks are the Master Lock Set Your Own Combination Locks. Our elementary aged kids like the Master Lock 1535 D Combination Padlock ($10.40) that features letters to create a customized work as your combination. They also like the directional movements of the 1500iD Speed Dial Combination Lock ($13.39) because it’s fast to unlock a locker using up/down/left/right directional movements than twisting the dial of a traditional combination lock. Both the Master Lock 1535D and 1500iD are favorites because the easy to operate locks hat keep belongings secure.

This summer Master Lock wants to give your family a chance to win easy to use locks that will help keep your belongings secure whether you’re using them at home, school, the gym, or to lock bikes during summer rides.

Enter to win a Master Lock prize pack courtesy of Master Lock!

    The locker I used was built into the wall unit. I recall it being fairly easy to use, but it would occasionally get stuck. These new locks sure look nice!

    it was a chrome and black lock that had a three number code to unlock; it was typical of the time, many years ago 🙂

    My school lockers all had simple locks build into the structure. They said each was changed at the start of the school year, but then you would find people who saidd they could open their last year’s locker. I had enough trouble remembering the combination for the current year.

    A combination lock. It was easy once you remembered the combination.

    My locker was the dial combination lock you had to remember the number given and be right on that small little line or it won’t open, but today you can make your own lock combo and that is a huge help not to forget I think it’s snazzy, kinda wish I was in school again lol.

    I used a combo lock while I was in school, it was easy to operate, probably too easy.

    I used a combination lock and liked it. But now I have nightmares of not being able to open it.

    We always used combination locks and it was easy as long as you remembered the code or weren’t in a hurry!

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
