Usually, seeing fire trucks approaching an elementary school with lights and sirens isn’t something to celebrate! However, this morning, 5 fire trucks gave some lucky students rides to school and several firefighters joined our kids for breakfast to celebrate fire prevention week!

Reminder… pep bus rider forms are due tomorrow for Friday’s game in Minot.
