Meridian Pre-K really enjoyed learning about fire safety this week. We practiced how to crawl under the smoke, how to stop, drop and roll and had a fun visit to the fire station!We learned songs about firefighters and did several other activities in the classroom as well! Thank you to the Blue Mound Fire Department for allowing us to finish up our fire safety unit with all of you at the firehouse!





MES Pre-K took a trip to the Blue Mound Fire Department this morning! BMFD was kind enough to allow the students to spray the hose, ride in a fire truck, put on a firefighter outfit and explore the ambulance. We had a wonderful time! Thank you BMFD for hosting us.
