Firehouse Visits

Last week our Kindergarten and Preschool students went on walking field trips to the Flossmoor Fire Department. The Kindergarten class went on Tuesday; the Three-Year-Old Preschool class went on Wednesday; and the Four-Year-Old Preschool class went on Friday. During the field trips, the students had the opportunity to sit in the fire trucks and engines; to watch a firefighter put on all their gear while explaining the uses of the clothing and equipment; and to see where the firefighters eat, sleep and relax, when not out on a call. At the end of the visit each of the students received their own firefighter hat. The Kindergarten Class was also fortunate enough to meet a former IJP student, who is now a Captain in the Flossmoor Fire Department—Captain Matthew Berk! Thank you for a fun and educational visit, Flossmoor Fire Department!
