🚒🔥*Fire Safety Day at Catalayah!* 🔥🚒 Today, we had an exciting visit from the Claremore Fire Department! They gave an amazing presentation on fire safety, brought their awesome inflatable house, and showcased a few of their impressive trucks. 🚒 Ask your kids about what they learned—it was packed with essential tips! They discussed the importance of smoke alarms, what to do when one goes off, and taught the classic "Stop, Drop, and Roll" technique for clothing fires. They also introduced the concept of a safety spot—a safe place to meet outside in case of a fire at home. Many of our students were learning some of these life-saving tips for the first time! These are valuable conversations to continue at home. Thank you, Claremore Fire Dept, for an unforgettable day and for helping keep our kids safe! ❤️ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
