Our Community


We take care of ourselves.
We take care of our friends.
We take care of our community.

This year we will be learning about the community of Montpelier. We will visit sites in town each month, and will focus on the ways that people help each other in our community.
Our October visit to the Montpelier Fire Department was educational and fun! Firefighters discussed fire safety and reminded kids to get low and get out. They asked families to decide on a meeting place once everyone exits the home.
Firefighters demonstrated the use of their gear, and also helped students to become less fearful of the sound of the voices through the oxygen mask.
The field trip included vehicle visits, and a demonstration of the rarely used fire pole!

Junior firefighters were so excited to head back to school, and share all their new knowledge!

Thanks to all of our volunteer chaperones!
