Special Visitors and Asset Builder of the Month

In the last couple of weeks we have had two sets of visitors.  

The West Carrollton firefighters came to talk to us about safety.  One of the officers put on his complete uniform so that the students could see what they look like when they arrive at an actual fire.  They also let the students hear what their air tanks sound like, as well as how the firefighters sound through their mask.  

As a class, we had some very serious talks about what to do if there is a fire in their home.  The firefighters advised to go to the nearest window and scream for help if they are not able to make it out of their home safely.  They were reminded to NEVER hide if there is a fire in their home.  We all know that children know the best hiding places in their home, but in an emergency, they need to know where to go so they can be helped/saved.  Please continue to share these tips with your child. 
 
This firefighter was showing us the "wiggle" move in order to turn off the alarm on his air tank.  If he doesn't move for a specific period of time it starts to alarm.  When he moves it turns off.  This is a way for other firefighters to save their fellow "fighters" if they become injured during a fire.  
 

We also had the Dayton Dutch Lions Soccer team visit a couple of weeks ago. 
They talked to us about the 5 steps they follow in their daily lives.
1.  Education
2.  Be Healthy (Eat right and get enough sleep)
3.  Practice
4.  Listen
5.  Be Active
 
Mr. Doyle (our P.E. teacher) took a try!
Lastly, another one of our very own was awarded with Asset Builder of the Month!  
Congratulations Mya!
Have a great week!
