🔥🚒 First Grade had a special guest yesterday! 🚒🔥
A big thank you to Lt. Skinner with the Waco Fire Department for visiting our first graders and teaching them all about being a firefighter!
Students learned that his firefighting gear weighs about 65 pounds and heard about the many ways firefighters help people in emergencies. Most importantly, Lt. Skinner taught them an important safety lesson: If you see a firefighter during an emergency, don’t run away—run to them!
Thank you, Lt. Skinner, for taking the time to visit our Panthers and share such an important lesson!
