Sirens Blare During FP Week 168 Fire Prevention Week “It was scary.” “Let’s do it again!” Screaming sirens and a ride aboard the big red OPS fire truck highlighted Fire Prevention Week for the kids in PS-Grade I. Each class was given a short ride around the elementary school and had an official picture taken as their final activity. Sponsored by the Corps of Engineers, the October 8-12 FPW introduced children to the workings of a fire truck and instructed them on fire safety. Lessons about fire hazards were discussed, and the children learned that preventing fires was the best lesson of all. Mrs. Maytrelle Jones’ pre-school class proudly displays the Fire Prevention Week sign after their fire engine ride. Lindsey Borys runs along side the red fire engine to catch up with her class.

Nurse’s Office Provides Fun ... Students Wear Doctor’s Hats “What will the doctor do to me???” Nurse Mel Brown gave lessons to the primary students to reassure them that doctors and nurses were helpers who wanted to see that the children stay well. She taught them what to expect at the doctor’s office and not to be afraid. The children were taught about doctors’ and nurses’ instruments. They made their own doctor’s bag complete with stethoscope. At the nurse’s office the students were weighed and measured in the fall and spring.
