It's Fire Prevention Week October 6th to the 11th and our students are learning about smoke alarms. Having smoke alarms in your home is very important. Smoke alarms let you know when there is a fire. Working smoke alarms give you time to escape your home and stay outside. You can find more information and fun activities at Sparky.org
