Cameron is now a firefighter with Lakeside Fire & Rescue Co. in Monroe and visited the school to teach fire prevention techniques to second and third grade students. From learning in the classroom to leading one–what a full circle moment! 🚒💜

October 5 -11 is Fire Safety Week and our younger Crusaders learned some very important lessons about staying safe in an emergency. Firefighters from the Monroe Joint Fire District (Mombasha Fire Company, Harriman Engine Company and Lakeside Fire and Rescue Company) visited elementary schools in the district to help spread awareness about fire safety.

Led by Firefighter Sean Glander of Lakeside Fire & Rescue Co., students toured fire trucks, received hands-on demonstrations about what to do if they see or smell smoke, and how to call for help during an emergency. Firefighters also demonstrated how their uniforms keep them safe when there is a fire.

When it comes to safety, it’s always best to be prepared! 🧑‍🚒

Art has a special way of bringing people together. Our National Art Honor Society students experienced this firsthand during a visit to the Monroe Senior Center to lead a fall-themed painting party. While working on their “gourd-geous” creations, students and seniors swapped stories, creativity, and a whole lot of laughter. Even Superintendent Norman stopped by to participate in the fun! 🎨🖌️☺️
