Last week, our school participated in National Fire Prevention Week. This year's theme,“Charge Into Fire Safety - Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” focuses on the everyday charging habits that can help reduce the risk of lithium-ion battery fires and keep homes and communities safer.
Congratulations to Ruby and Lauren, who won our annual fire safety coloring contest earning them a ride to school on the fire truck! We all visited the fire station where we learned about fire safety and got to tour the trucks. Students even used the fire hose to put out a "house fire!" The 6th graders then rode the fire truck back to school, and Mrs. Engelhardt's class wrapped things up with a fun fire truck themed treat!
A big thank you to the Protivin Volunteer Fire Department - including Fire Chief Brad Moudry, Tim Beckman, and Chris Shimek - for letting us visit and for always keeping our community safe! 🚒👨🚒
