Gold Squad of Firefighters visit West Fannin Elementary School

Lucas Roof, Principal of West Fannin Elementary School, let us know of a special visit to the school.  It was a  spur of the moment visit November 18th from the gold squad of firefighters who came to West Fannin Elementary School with an engine.

They arrived at 9:00 and spoke to the 2nd grade, which worked perfectly because it was 2nd grade’s activity time. This was a special opportunity for the kids to interact with the firefighters who have been fighting the wildfires!

Also, Mr. Sexton had the students in the art room make a “Thank You poster” for the firefighters.

Finally, the 4th grade students worked hard making pies for the firefighters which were made with ingredients grown on WFES soil!  They were able to deliver these to the firefighters.

The firefighters also enjoyed listening as a group of children sang for them.
