District 228 Students Encourage Fire Safety

Bremen High School District 228 Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) teachers and students have been conducting a 9-Volt Battery Drive to help students who have beeping fire/smoke detectors in their homes.

The campaign started when teachers noticed the need for these batteries after hearing beeping noises during virtual learning.

From this campaign, FCCLA students decided to place an extra emphasis on Fire Safety by starting and promoting their own "Fire Safety Week" at their schools from March 22 - March 26.

Check out this awesome Fire Safety Video created by FCCLA students at Oak Forest High School and this Fire Safety Video created by FCCLA students at Hillcrest High School.

While students and staff placed an extra emphasis on fire safety and battery donations throughout the week, they said they would still accept battery donations until they are no longer needed.

Anyone interested in donating batteries can drop them off at any District 228 school's main office or the District 228 Administration Center. District 228 schools include Bremen High School, Tinley Park High School, Hillcrest High School, and Oak Forest High School.
