A special thank you to the Grantville Fire Department. They come every October and visit all of our classrooms individually to discuss fire safety items. Each grade level gets a different lesson with age-appropriate information. Tomorrow - Monday, October 22 - they will also be coming to the school to help us practice our fire drill!
If you see fire trucks coming to East Hanover, it is just to practice! They have done a fantastic job and we really appreciate the time they devote to teaching our students. |
