Sharing Our School's Safety Day!

Our school does Safety Day with style! We are extremely fortunate to have arrangements where policeman, fireman, border patrol agents, SWAT, service dogs, and rescue helicopters visit our campus.


We started the morning off with the two helicopters landing on our grass field one was the fire rescue and the other was a police/Cal Fire helicopter. Once the aircraft were secure, our students rotate through 8 stations: police motorcycles, police dog, border patrol agents who do rescues, fire department, fire rescue helicopter, police and Cal Fire helicopter, SWAT, and police cruisers.



The students listen to presentations by each department and get to ask questions. Each station focuses on safety and rescue. When all grades (K-5) have completed all the stations, we sit down again to watch the helicopters take off.





I am always amazed how exciting it is each year. The helicopters bring back memories for me because my grandfather was a helicopter pilot. I was so fortunate to have flown many times with him.



My students and I return to class where we write thank you notes to all those who volunteered to come and share with us.
Thanks again to all those who participated in Safety Day!
