PIE thanks island firefighters
To the editor:
Pine Island Elementary School would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the island fire department for their outstanding support during Fire Safety Week. Their dedication to educating our community — especially our students — on the importance of fire prevention and safety was truly inspiring.
Throughout the week, firefighters visited the island school delivering engaging presentations, demonstrations and hands-on activities that helped students understand how to stay safe in case of a fire. From teaching stop-drop-and-roll to explaining how smoke alarms work, their efforts made a lasting impression on young minds.
K-3 students experienced hands-on fire safety activities at school with the firefighters. Grades 4 and 5 students had a field trip to the fire station to see things first hand.
These visits not only provided crucial safety information but also allowed students to meet real-life heroes in their community, fostering respect and appreciation for the brave work our firefighters do every day.
P.I.E. is deeply grateful for their time, energy, and commitment to keeping our community safe. Thank you for being such a vital part of Fire Safety Week — and for everything you do year-round.
