Our 4K and kindergarten students are on FIRE! 🔥
Our little Lakers took a trip to the Turtle Lake Fire Department to wrap up Fire Safety Week! 🤩
Students rotated through stations where they learned the importance of stop, drop, and roll; when to call 911; and how to get out and stay out. They also got hands-on experience spraying a fire hose, sitting in a fire truck, and trying on real firefighting gear! 🚒
Thank you to the firefighters for sharing important safety tips and showing us around the fire station! 💛 ❤️
