The kids are back in school, and it’s time for the second graders at Falcon, Woodmen Hills and Meridian Ranch elementary schools to receive their monthly fire department safety lessons.Each month, Falcon Fire Protection District firefighters practice their teaching skills by presenting various safety lessons to students in the district. The topic for the month of September is “Motor Vehicle Safety.” Other topics include “Fire Safety,” “Poisoning Prevention” and “Water Safety.” The firefighters use a national fire safety curriculum for the monthly lessons.At the end of the school year, students are treated to a “Bike Rodeo” where they pull all they’ve learned to compete in a variety of events that prove what they’ve learned throughout the year about safe practices.So second graders, the firefighters are planning their lessons. To the teachers: Relax, your students are in good hands!
