The third graders visited the Syracuse Fire Station to celebrate Fire Safety Week. The kids were able to ask questions, learn about fire safety and prevention, try on gear, and ride in the trucks. On the way back to school, they stopped to admire the new mural. Everyone thought it was amazing! We are so thankful we live in such a beautiful community, and that we have a wonderful volunteer fire department to keep it safe.
Seniors who came to visit and talk to our elementary students this morning were; Joe Clark, Brody Brandt, Will Janssen, Max Parde, Camden Masters
