A reminder for our Bobcat families!
The Herrick Fire Department came to visit our K-5 building during Fire Prevention Week. Students were able to enter a smokehouse, use the fire hose, and learn about fire safety. They were also given an assignment from the firemen: Make a home fire escape plan! Thanks for a great presentation! We appreciate you!
