Bloom 206 Provides Families with Free Smoke Detector Batteries

In honor of Fire Prevention Month, Bloom Township High School district 206 has launched a program allowing families to receive free batteries for smoke detectors.

The program came from an internal discussion that resulted from the work of some observant teachers in the district, who noticed a familiar beeping while remote learning was taking place with their students.

"Some teachers have been hearing occasional beeping in the background during e-learning - which means that some students have smoke detectors that are not fully working," the district stated in the application form. "We want to keep our Bloom Township families safe and healthy during this difficult time."

Any Bloom 206 family interested in receiving a free smoke detector battery is encouraged to fill out this form. If the district does not have the battery needed, a $5 gift card will be provided for the purchase.
