 The 2nd Grade was excited to have Fireman Blake Jolley come and talk to our students about fire safety. Students learned the importance of fire alarms, having an exit plan and not playing with fire.  Mr. Jolley then showed his gear, his truck and then let the students operate the firehose.  It was a valuable and memorable activity for all.  Thanks Angie and Blake Jolley for supporting our students!
