Firefighter Springer came to talk to the first graders today about fire safety. He showed us his firefighter suit and had Mrs. Nolte help him demonstrate how he would have to carry someone out of a fire. The students' homework assignment tonight was to make sure they have working fire alarms in their bedrooms & hallway, that they have a safe meeting spot, & that they know their address. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Springer for taking the time to help us learn about fire safety!
