Fire Prevention Week is recognized nationally during the week of October 8-14, 2023 and Ridgeway's kindergarten students learned hands-on all about prevention and protection from Manchester's finest!
Last week, Mrs. Schaefer, Mrs. Allmann, and Mrs. Torres’ kindergarten classes at Ridgeway School took a field trip over to visit the Ridgeway Fire Department! The students received a tour of the building, put out a pretend house fire by controlling the firehouse, and even sat in one of the fire trucks! The firemen taught the students all about fire safety, and demonstrated fire extinguishers as well as all of the equipment the firefighters wear!
The kids enjoyed this hands-on experience and learned so much from the visit! Thank you to the Ridgeway Fire Department for welcoming our students and taking the time to provide them with a great lesson.
