LEARNING ABOUT COMMUNITY HELPERS
AT THE HICKSVILLE NURSERY SCHOOL 

Children at the Hicksville Nursery School were treated to visits from some very special people recently as they completed their lesson unit on Community Helpers. Firefighters Renee and Kurt gave a presentation on fire safety to all the children. Each child was given an opportunity to practice “Stop, Drop and Roll”. They had fun while learning what to do in case of a fire. Police Officer Chris also made a visit to the 3-year-old and 4-year-old children’s classes. He explained how Police Officers are our friends and that people can go to them when they need help. The children also learned how to call 911 for an emergency and the importance of staying away from strangers. The children learned some valuable lessons from both presentations. All the Community Helpers were parents of children from the school. We thank them for taking the time to come to visit.
