What a weekend and a day!

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers and moms in spirit.  I hope you had a fabulous day!

Congratulations to all the Fun Run participants!  Katie won 1st place for 2nd grade.  A nice ending to our sports and fitness week.

Today we had the fire safety trailer.  It was fun and informative.  We were at three stations that each explained a different aspect of fire safety.  The students practiced stop, drop, and roll (Daniel made a funny song to help us remember the steps), how to dial 911 on different kinds of phones (they even had a  rotary phone), and the trailer where the students practiced exiting a building (from a window).  Two important points that the firemen wanted the students to share at home were that everyone needs to have a carbon monoxide detector (it's a law in Oak Park) and if possible to have GFI or smart outlets in the home.  Ask your child about it today.
