In honor of October being National Fire Prevention month, our young learners hosted an apple cider & school-made donut stand to support their local fire department.
This year’s national fire safety theme is “Cooking Safety Starts With You!” Hands-on cooking and baking is a frequent component of SMART START’S curriculum. Due to this, our classroom chefs are instructed on safety protocols regarding using appliances as well as fire emergency procedures. All of this was further discussed while classroom chefs baked delicious donuts for their sale.
The apple cider & donut stand was a success! Our students were so excited to welcome The North Andover Fire Department as their first visitors. All were in awe as they engaged with these community heroes and explored a fire engine. The firefighters expressed their appreciation for the sale proceeds and also enjoyed some donuts and cider!
A North Andover police officer and police pup made a special appearance!
Family, friends, neighbors & SMART START alumni also stopped by.
In addition to fire safety, this event educated on the importance of community involvement. Introducing this topic in Early Childhood Education encourages children to become active members in their towns and to develop an interest in the world around them. Contributing to the community in even the smallest ways can make a significant impact!
