第八周国旗下讲话稿：注意交通安全
同学们，4月是安全教育月，今天在这里再次提醒同学们注意以下几个方面的安全问题。 一、注意交通安全： 现在的交通发展比较快，马路上车辆来来往往非常多，我们更有必要提醒同学们在上放学途中要注意交通安全，也要做好宣传工作，提醒爸爸妈妈注意交通安全。我们提倡同学们做到以下几点：不在马路上踢球；不在马路中间行走，要走马路两旁人行道；过马路不得翻越栏杆和隔离墩，要走人行横道线，还要注意来往车辆；在十字路口，要做到红灯停、绿灯行；不足年岁不骑车上街、骑车不带人、不在公路上骑飞车、不扒车、不拦截撞打车辆；乘车时不向窗外招手探头、乘车须抓紧扶手、车上拥挤时注意锐利物品、车停稳后再下车。 二、注意活动安全： 在月休假期间要注意安全。特别是父母不在的时候，活动要远离建筑工地、道路等存在安全隐患的场所，比如现在旧道路都在挖掘铺设管道，我们要小心
安全主题国旗下演讲稿讲话稿格式400字【三篇】
篇一各位老师、同学们：大家早上好!校园，是我们成长的摇篮，学习的乐土，可是危险也时时刻刻地隐伏在每一个角落。因此，我们需要铭记，安全无小事，细节不可忽视，只有防患于未然才是正道!同学们，你们正处于一生中最精彩、最充满活力的阶段。你们自信、勇敢，敢闯、敢拼，可是就在这样花样的年龄，每天有将近一个班的学生因为安全事故而无缘校园。日常威胁到我们的安全隐患有：打架斗殴、食物中毒、体育运动损伤、网络交友安全、交通事故、火灾、溺水、毒品危害等。在这里,我向全体同学提出如下建议：要有高度的安全意识。对本班教室里的各种教学设施、用电设备等定期进行专门检查，若发现隐患，及时汇报。第二、要注意交通安全。一定要严格遵守交通规则，主动避让机动车辆，不在路上追跑打闹。第三、注意饮食安全。在学校食堂就餐，不在街头流动摊点购买食品，不购买三无食品，防止误食不卫生食品，造成食物中毒。
感恩节国旗下讲话：心怀感恩，成就健全人格
感恩节国旗下的讲话：心怀感恩，成就健全人格尊敬的各位领导、各位老师，亲爱的同学们：大家早上好！今天，我在国旗下讲话的题目是：心怀感恩，成就健全人格。大家应该都知道，每年11月份的第四个星期四，是感恩节。那么今年的感恩节是11月27号。同学们，这个日子，是我们每个人应该铭记的日子。我们应该要学会感恩，用一颗真心，一颗爱心，一颗善良的心，来感恩自己所拥有的一切，感恩身边关心和帮助我们的每一个人，只有这样，我们才是一个常怀感恩之心的人，才是一个健康快乐的人，才是一个具有健全人格的人。同学们，常怀感恩之心，我们首先要感恩自己的父母。父母是我们最应感恩的人。是父母给了我们生命，是父母把我们抚养长大；是父母在我们生病时，日夜守护在我们的身旁，牵肠挂肚，寝食难安；他们是我们最亲近的人，他们是我们人生中第一位启蒙老师，也是我们人生中最最重要的人。感恩父母，陈毅元帅为我们做出了好榜样。
高考百日誓师大会家长代表发言讲话
亲爱的孩子，高中生活，特别是冲刺阶段，是一个极其艰辛的过程，在一次次考试的历练中，在亮到深夜的台灯下，在你们疲惫、失落的眼神里，爸爸、妈妈真切地感受着你们的艰辛和坚韧。也许我们曾经的担心、焦虑、唠叨给你们添加了压力，但这就是父母啊，一切都是为了孩子!其实，父母因为有你们这样出色的孩子已经深感自豪。孩子们，金榜题名固然重要，但在高中阶段所收获的那一份刻骨铭心的历练、学会驾驭人生、学会坚韧、学生拼搏的素养，这些都将成为我们终生受用的宝贵财富。如果对高考有这样的理解，这样的把握，我相信无论你们在怎样的状况下，都会义无反顾，信心百倍，马到成功。希望你们能坚守“最初的梦想”，练就“隐形的翅膀”;坚定信心，坚忍不拔，毕竟天道酬勤，不必创造奇迹，但求无愧于心!
