Firefighter Classroom Visit

Earlier in the month my second grade class had the privilege to listen to classmate Alijah's dad speak about his job as a firefighter. He even brought his complete uniform and gear and let the kids try on his jacket and helmet. The complete uniform weighs more than 50 pounds! His 45-minute visit went by so quickly, the kids were engaged and it inspired more than a few students to declare they wanted to become a firefighter when they grow up.
