Thank you all for being very understanding that I have not been keeping up with the Blog! It has been a hard month of Sept while recovering from surgery and having a new grand baby being born this month. Thank you all so much. We will get back on track next week. Please be here by 9 am on Monday because our fire truck will be visiting at that time. All the kids present will receive a fire hat and a lot of fun touching the big red fire truck. The firemen will talk to the kids about the dangers of fire and how to protect themselves and get out of the building if one occurs, also very important that family talks to their children and makes a fire escape plan for your own house. Tell the children where the meeting place is outside and go over all avenues of protecting them in case of a emergency. One year we had the fire truck demonstration and I had a brother and sister enrolled that payed attention very well. One night their house caught on fire and the children remembered to not open their bedroom doors, get to the windows and get help. This is what they both did, their parents were able to get to the windows from the outside and retrieve the children. There were some burns on their little hands and smoke inhalation but their lives were saved. The parents thanked me later because the children expressed to them that they did what the fire men told them to do, that which they learned from school. Very touching story, again thank you all and we will see hopefully everyone at school by 9 am.
