Preschool students learned about all their community helpers do, and at the end of the week, K3 students got to dress up as the community helper they admire most. The young doctors, firefighters, police officers, and more were celebrated during a parade around the Lower School playground.
On Tuesday, the Jackson Fire Department stopped by to teach the youngest Raiders about fire trucks, fire safety, and the role of first responders. Students had the opportunity to look around in the fire truck and practice stop, drop, and roll.
Wednesday followed with a visit from Resource Officers Steve Lofton and Richard Byrd to teach K3 students about the role of a resource officer on campus. The officers showed them their gear and explained its use. Each K3 student made a police officer badge and hat to celebrate.
Friday morning, the Jackson Police Department demonstrated lights and sirens while riding up and down Sheffield Drive to show the Preschool students. Students were lined up on the sidewalk, enthusiastically smiling and jumping. A few students who happened to be dressed as police officers even got their photo with a JPD officer.
K3 students ended the week with a parade dressed as their community helper role models. Students dressed as teachers, doctors, police officers, and so much more. Preschool students enjoyed their week learning about all of their community helpers. And, thank you to our community helpers for all they do.
