Kindergarten and 2nd grade heard a story from our security guard, Mr. Edwards – 1st grade had a visit from Veteran Mike Kelly – 3rd had a visit from Mr. McGuire – and 4th had a virtual visit from 4th grade teacher Mr. Thomas’s brother, Major Thomas, who is currently stationed in California with the Marines.

Last week, the West Haven Fire Department taught Washington 3rd and 4th graders how to get out of their homes quickly and safely in case of a fire. Students practiced staying low to get to safety in WHFD’s smoke (fog) trailer, which looked like a mini living room and kitchen, as fog was created to mimic smoke. Students responded to hearing the smoke detector and crawled out. WHFD also reminded students of the importance of having a working smoke detector at home.
Washington 3rd graders would like to thank Mr. Depew and the West Haven Rotary for their once again generous donation of a dictionary to each 3rd grade student. They will put these to good use!
