An exciting morning!
This morning we were lucky enough to have 4 of our Shatekon 4th graders get a ride to school on a fire truck! Because of their thoughtful and artistic posters showing how to prevent fires, these students were picked up at their homes and got a ride of a lifetime. It was so exciting to see them rush around the bend sirens and horns blaring. Check out my class pictures page to see the fun!!
