October brings falling leaves, cooler temperatures, apple picking, pumpkins, and fire safety! Yes, October is Fire Safety Month and the students at Circleville Elementary School received a visit from fire fighters from Circleville Fire District, Silver Lake Fire District, and Bullville Fire District.
Students in each grade had a demonstration by the fire fighters, showing them the equipment on each fire truck and what it is used for, as well as getting instruction on important things like sleeping with their bedroom door closed, the importance of having a meeting spot should a fire break out in their house, and what to do should a fire emergency happen.
The students had the opportunity to go into the fire trucks and some got to wear the very heavy fire helmet!
Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 took part in the annual poster contest.
A big thank you from the Circleville Elementary School community for all of our volunteers in the fire districts! We so appreciate you – you’re making such a difference!
