Today we partnered with the Warsaw Fire Department to learn more about fire safety. We learned about stop, drop and roll, having a meeting spot, and general fire safety. Some students were able to see how quickly they could dress in the heavy equipment used by firefighters. The best time was clocked at 1 minute and 11 seconds. Impressive! We are so grateful to these local heroes for investing in our kids! #WarsawInspires

We are always delighted when we see students spontaneously use the skills they've learned to keep building and to find connections. #WarsawInspires
