On Thursday, December 11th, 2008 the PreK and K had a visit from the Grosse Ile Volunteer Firefighters. Fire chief, Paul Clarke, has been involved in many visits to the class in the past years and continues to help teach the children about fire safety.
During this visit Paul taught the children what to do in case of a fire in their house, including planning an escape route. They also talked about smoke detectors, why they shouldn’t play with matches and lighters, and stop – drop – roll. The children were able to see some of the firefighter’s tools and special clothes.
The fire chief and captain presented each child with a certificate.
Thanks to all for a great afternoon. We look forward to visiting the firestation in the new year.
