Our Elementary Wildcats had a special visit from the Gurnee Fire Department today to learn all about fire safety! 🔥🚒
Some of our students impressed the firefighters (and their classmates) by showing off their fire safety knowledge with a Stop, Drop, and Roll demonstration.
The visit wrapped up with a look at the gear firefighters use to stay safe while protecting our community.
A big thank-you to the Gurnee Fire Department for stopping by and helping our Wildcats stay safe and prepared!
