Fire Safety!

Fire Safety in 2nd grade isn't just during Fire Prevention Week in October.  Students in the Fairfield Community Schools 2nd grades have the opportunity to participate in the Adopt-A-Fireman program.  Each month, Jeff Johannes and Rob Helmick from the Libertyville Fire Department visited our classroom throughout the year.  While they visit, they teach us about the importance of fire safety.  We get to do all sorts of fun things while we are learning about fire safety.  We get to try on the clothing and equipment, practice rolling hoses, look at the different fire trucks and rescue equipment, visit the smokehouse and have a graduation ceremony.  Today we had our graduation ceremony!!!  We all graduated and got to enjoy pizza!!!  We also got to pretend we were putting out a fire with water extinguishers!  We enjoyed having Rob and Jeff join our class for the year!!!  They took time away from their jobs to come and teach us about fire safety!!!  Thank you!!!! Love you smooches!!!
