Every year the members look forward to going back to school in October for our annual fire safety program at Kings Highway. This year was no exception, upon arriving at 09:30 the schedule of assemblies was given to us and from there we visited with every class in the school from Kindergarten through 5th grade.

This year was slightly different than years past, as the school schedule for the days have changed. Working with the teachers and staff two times were set for the morning which was 3rd thru 5th grade and the afternoon Kindergarten through 2nd grade. All the assemblies were great and the kids seemed to enjoy them which we followed with a tour of the apparatus on the playground and we gave them a little something to take home at the end,

The programs we use are based on the learn not to burn curriculum and have been refined as technology and standards have been updated. But each year the kids look forward to seeing us.

Each grade has a specific area in safety we target along with reviews of what they have learned in years past, this allows for a set program of teaching the children fire safety.

Wagontown would like to thank the staff of Kings Highway for assisting us in getting our fire safety message out and taking time out of their day for our visit.
