A BIG Thank you to Trish Frutman, our School Nurse, for arranging the Southborough Fire Department to present to our students about the importance of Winter Safety.

Students learned practical, age-appropriate tips to stay safe during the colder months—everything from keeping a safe distance from space heaters, open flames, and candles to knowing what to do if they ever hear a smoke alarm at home, and the dangers of thin ice. It was extremely thorough and comprehensive.

The firefighters did a wonderful job making safety feel empowering rather than scary, and our students asked thoughtful questions that showed just how much they were learning.

As always, we’re grateful for the strong partnership we share with our fire department and for the opportunity to build these lifelong safety habits early.

We encourage families to take a few minutes at home to review your own fire safety routines—things like checking smoke detectors, talking about a family meeting spot, and practicing “stay low and go” and "stop-drop-and-roll."

Keep your trees watered and your plugs safe.
