The busy season of leaf
collection has already started for maintenance crews in
Springfield Township and
the Village of Holland.
Residents are asked to
abide by the following
guidelines.
Springfield Township
In the township, leaf collection begins October 22
and runs through December
14, weather permitting.
All leaves should be
raked into rows near the
edge of the street, but not
into the street which causes
sewer back-ups.
In all curbed areas, leaf
piles should be located
between the curb and the
sidewalk.
Leaves should not be
placed around utility guide
wires, mailboxes or fire
hydrants, which obstruct
their pick-up.
Do not mix trash, branches, stones, garden or construction materials with
leaves.
Leaves should be raked
to the curb as soon as possible to ensure timely pickup.
The public services
department has split the leaf
collection into three zones.
Zone one runs from King
Road west to Crissey and
Airport Highway north to
Bancroft Street.
The zone includes the
curbed streets of Stone Oak,
Stone Bridge, Timber Ridge,
Cherry Blossom and Water
Park and the uncurbed
streets of North/South County, King, Layer, Oak Park,
Centennial, Rall, Crissey,
East/West County, Angola,
Raymil, Kieswetter, Hill,
Nebraska, Dorr and Bancroft.
Zone two encompasses
King Road east to Holland
$20.00 per year

Above is a map of the township leaf collection zones.
Sylvania Road and Angola
Road north to Bancroft
Street. Included in this zone
are Deerfield, Lincoln
Green, Dorcas Farms/South
Hill Park extension, crystal
Creek, Culley/South/Beatty/
Kranz/Wharton, Connelsville, Haven Park and Wentworth.
North/South roads are
King, McCord and Holland
Sylvania/Kallager Park and
east/west roads are Angola,
Hill, Nebraska subdivisions,
Dorr subdivisions/Carrington and Bancroft.
Residents living between
Airport Highway and Salisbury and Holland Sylvania
and Eber Road are in zone
three.
This includes Shadow
Valley,
Holland
Sylvania/Estateland, Manley/Brandywine, Garden/
Carmella Gardens, Valley

som/Rhode Island/Connecticut, International, Fox
Run, Sawmill Run, Garden/Albon/Crissey/ Eber/
Pilliod off Albon, Quarry,
Weckerly/Salisbury and Old
State Line.
The normal route of
township leaf crews is from
east to west, starting with
Holland-Sylvania, and north
to south, starting at Bancroft.
Curbed subdivisions and
areas with a higher density
of trees will be collected
more often due to safety
issues as well as to avoid
clogging sewers.
The collection crews will
pass down each street at
least three to four times during the season.
Springfield Township
does not collect leaves at
mobile home parks and
apartment complexes or on
private roads.
Residents must secure
their own leaf removal for
the following roads or developments: Treetop Lane, Castle Oak and Forest Glen in
Stone Oak; Tremore, Hidden
Harbour, Wolf Creek Estates
and Embassy Court.
For more information on
leaf pickup, contact the
Springfield Township Road
Maintenance office at 419865-0239, extension 14.
Village of Holland
Leaf collection began
October 1 and will run
through the first weekend of
December, depending on
weather.
Village residents should
make sure that all leaf piles
are placed in narrow rows
along the curb or roadside
and are free of rocks, sticks,
and other items.
The collection schedule
is:
Monday–All streets in
Whisperwood Angola, Clark
and all streets south of the
railroad tracks including
Nightingale.
Thursday–Clarion, Dunn,
Cornwall, Springfield.
Friday–Clarion, McCord,
Georgianna, Erie, Columbus, Washington, Almaine,
Kipling, Second and Front.
When raking leaves prior
to your designated collection
day, covering the leaf piles
will help to keep the leaves
from scattering in the street,
blowing in your neighbor’s
yard and blocking the catch
basins.
Depending on the
amount of leaves to be collected per collection day, it
may be necessary to continue collection of a street to
the next designated collection day.
Should this occur, do not
place additional leaves to the
curb if your leaves were collected. Maintenance crews
will not return to already
collected areas of a street
until the next regular collection day.
Village council learns state legislature is
backing away from centralized income tax proposal
house management, job
training/project SEARCH,
landscape design/ turfgrass
management, medical and
legal office management,
medical technologies and
small animal care.

Wednesday, November 14,
at the board meeting room,
9301 Buck Road, Perrysburg
and is open to the public.
By Jane Maiolo
Holland Mayor Mike
Yunker said Ohio’s plan to
centralize income tax collection for all state municipalities appears to be “abandoned.”
At the October 16 village council meeting, the
mayor said he recently
attended a legislative hearing on the subject.
The mayor first brought
the proposal to council’s
attention in September
2011, noting that the legislation was in House Bill
153.
He has been adamently
opposed to the collection
because he believes it
would lead to a reduction in
turnaround time for municipalities to receive their
taxes back from the state.
“With us collecting, it is
an easy, quick service. If it
goes to the state, I don’t
need to tell you how long it
takes and the hassle it is,”
he had said at the time.
He also expressed concern that the new tax system
would result in disruption
of collection, possibly less
dollars and state administrative fees.
At last Tuesday’s meeting, the mayor said he is
pleased the state is reconsidering the centralized tax
collection.
“They [legislators] have
stepped back from manda-
The Holland Senior
Center in conjunction with
the Holland-Springfield
Journal, Holland Branch
Library and HollandSpringfield-Spencer Historical Society, invites parents
and pre-school children to a
daytime Trick or Treat on
Wednesday, October 31,
from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the
Lodge at Strawberry Acres
and the library.
The event provides
youngsters with a safe
alternative to evening Trick
or Treat and affords the
early-to-bed crowd a chance
to enjoy Halloween.
“We are ready for the
pre-schoolers,” said Leslie
Ferman, senior center
director, adding that members are “really looking
forward to seeing the costumed youngsters.”
The lodge hall will be
lined with seniors, and children will parade around the
room collecting treats, she
explained. The Journal and
historical society also will
distribute treats.
After visiting the lodge,
parents may walk their
children down a decorated
path to the library, where
staff will be handing out
treats.
Parking for the event
will be available at the
lodge, along Clarion
Avenue and at the library.
For more information,
call Ms. Ferman at 419865-7104 or Jane Maiolo,
Journal editor, at 419-8744491.

Penta board of education approves five year forecast
By Jane Maiolo
At the October 10 meeting, the Penta Career Center
board of education approved
a five-year budget forecast
for the center.
Treasurer Carrie Herringshaw believes revenues will
remain flat over the next
four years, said Judy Sander,
finance committee chairperson.
For the current fiscal
year, revenues are $26.35
million with expenditures at
$26.02 million.
In 2013, those figures
will change as expenditures
are expected to top $26.78
million with revenues at
$26.43 million.
If revenue remains the
same, the gap will grow
through 2017 when Ms.
Herringshaw is predicting
expenditures to exceed revenues by more than $2 million.
The treasurer said the
state has given no indication
on how it plans to fund
career technical schools.
“There is no indication of an
increase or a decrease. I’m
assuming it will stay constant, ” adding that is a
“huge” assumption.
“Any change that would
decrease career-tech weighted funding received from the
state would dramatically
impact our operations and
future five-year forecasts,”
she continued.
Ms. Sander said the fore-
cast also doesn’t take into
account any adjustments
made to staffing or personnel contracts.
Ms. Herringshaw said
salaries for certificated and
classified personnel will
remain the same through
June 30, 2013, when their
contracts expire. The current
contracts call for no increase
in pay.
The treasurer expects
health insurance premiums
to increase by 10 percent
each year of the forecast and
believes significant changes
will need to be made to the
health plan to contain future
costs.
With revenues unlikely to
change Ms. Herringshaw
advised the board to look at
ways to provide students
with the services they
require within the career
center’s budget.
Superintendent Ron Matter expressed his appreciation to the treasurer for the
report, noting that with so
many unknowns, “this is just
a best guess.”
Other Business
In other business, the
school board:
•Employed certified personnel. They are Gary
Ilconich and John Rudolph,
adult education automotive
technology, $18 per hour;
Joe Thomas, adult education
diversified training, $18 per
hour, and OGT intervention
instructors, Brooke Schu-
macher, Kelly Strahm,
David Harms, Pat Weindel
and Melissa Cangiamilla,
$25 per hour.
•Heard from board member Joe Rutherford, chair of
the policy/legislative committee, that the committee
has eight policy changes as
mandated by law for the
board to review.
“It’s amazing the changes
regarding bullying and
aggressive behavior and the
rules pertaining to it. We
didn’t have any of this a few
years ago,” he said, pointing
out that technology has really exacerbated the problem.
•Approved nine interns
for the fall semester and two
for the spring semester.
Students interns this fall
are Brian Badenhop from
Bowling Green State University and University of
Toledo Medical Center students Ashton Bowen, Hannah Chenoweth, Chelsea
Holsinger, Gregory Mousoulias, Rachel O’Neill, Patryk
Paszt, Carlye Pellow and
Ted Werner.
Spring student teachers
are Adam Holcombe and
Paul Kishman, both of
BGSU.
•Received an update on
the High Schools That Work
(HSTW) 2012 site review
process from Debra Schneider, project manager and
Scott Carpenter, Penta coordinator.
Penta is one of the top 80
most-improved high schools
in the national HSTW network which includes more
than 1,200 schools in 30
states and the District of
Columbia, explained Mr.
Carpenter, adding, “This
shows we are on track.”
The review process,
which will help the career
center remain on track, is
designed to analyze and document progress in the district’s school improvement
processes,
embrace
goals/directives and identify
challenges and strategies for
for the next three to five
years.
•Hired support personnel
Laura Fritsch, part-time
EMIS secretary, $16.07 per
hour; Lisa Jones, substitute
job coach, $10.86 per hour
and Erin Young, substitute
cafeteria worker, $11.01 per
hour.
•Heard from director Jeff
Kurtz that the career center
will be operating on a delay
schedule during the week of
October 22-26 for OGT testing.
Students who do not need
to take any portions of the
test are to report to school at
11 a.m., he said.
•Will review 11 courses
of study. They are administrative and professional support, agriculture satellite
programs, construction
masonry, exercise science,
gas and diesel engine systems, floral design/green-
tory collection of income
tax,” he said, but noted that
state officials continue to
look at ways to create tax
uniformity among municipalities.
“I will keep an eye out
and will let you know of
any changes,” he added.
Other Business
In other business, council:
•Approved a change
order of $465 for the Hall
Street project. The extra
funds were used for installation of blinker signs at the
school crosswalk. The solar
signs currently are set on a
timer to be on in the morning and afternoon in conjunction with the start and
end of the school day.
But Council President
Lee Irons requested the
lights be left on until later
in the evening due to school
activities and the number of
pedestrians using the crosswalk. He noted that
although there are streetlights in the area, that particular spot is not well lit.
Councilman Noah Stone
agreed, “It’s a dark spot.”
Mayor Yunker said he
will have maintenance
director Bob Simpson look
into the issue.
•Approved the expenditure of up to $20,000 for the
construction of a third open
air pavilion at Strawberry
Acres Park.
•Heard from Councilor
Elaine Olsen that the trees
planted several years ago in
the Whisperwood subdivision have grown in nicely.
“They look stunning. They
are very, very nice trees and
the colors are coming out,”
she said.
•Agreed to purchase an
ad in the 2013 HollandSpringfield Chamber of
Commerce business directory at a cost of $325.
•Paid bills in the amount
of $241,810.
The next village council
meeting will be at 7:30
p.m., Tuesday, November 6,
at council chambers, 1245
Clarion Avenue, and is open
to the public.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
We want to share our
doubts/concerns regarding
the Affordable Care Act
(ObamaCare) which goes
into effect at the end of 2013.
Primary to our concern is
the effect of this bill on existing Medicare patients. The
Congressional Budget Office
estimates that $716 billion
will be taken from
Medicare’s budget to help
fund it. This will result in less
and poorer care for seniors.
Many doctors will stop
seeing Medicare patients due
to proposed decreases in payments. Many seniors will
have problems finding a
physician and will wait an
extended period for an
appointment when they find
a physician. As a result, disease processes will worsen
and progress.
We realize Medicare is
not perfect and if left
unchanged will be bankrupt
by 2024. We feel other means
will improve this system and
preserve it for younger generations.
Another concern is for
patients who have insurance
through their employers. Premiums,
co-pays
and
deductibles are already high
and expected to rise further.
We expect many employers
to terminate insurance plans
and transition employees to
the government plan.
Also, the Affordable Care
Act appoints a panel of nonmedical personnel who rule
on procedures based on age
and “cost efficiencies.” We
definitely don’t want such
people making decisions
about what procedures/care
can be given our patients.
We take a similar view of
the other federal program,
Medicaid. We see many
patients on Medicaid who
benefit greatly, but some
abuse it by overusing hospitals and emergency rooms
which drives up costs.
This program needs renovated to continue to provide
the safety net needed in society. We continue to care for
Medicaid patients and
request of our politicians that
rules be put in place to insist
on more patient responsibility that will place it on a sustainable financial path.
Reforming government
programs will place them on
a more sustainable pathway
to help more Americans
when they need help the
most –during illness. We
don’t feel the Affordable
Care Act will accomplish
this. It will result in poorer
care, longer waiting lines and
inefficient
government
bureaucracy, leading to abuses of the system.

SCHOOL NEWS
By William Renwand,
Principal
Stop, Drop and Roll!
Stop, Drop, and Roll
were the words echoing
from the various classes at
Holloway this past week.
October 7-13 was Fire
Prevention Week. Students at Holloway were
involved in many safety
lessons throughout the
week with a culminating
event of having the local
Springfield Township Fire
Department visiting our
kindergarten and first
grade students. Students
had a chance to learn
about the different fire
vehicles, explore the EMT
ambulance, and participate
in the smoke house program.
As part of our monthly
safety procedures, the
building held a fire drill
and a building level “lock
down” drill. Fire drills are
design to have all students
and staff quickly and safely exit the building and
report to their designated
safety zones. By using
sets of talk-abouts, small
walkie-talkies, the staff
communicates and confirms that the building is
clear and all persons are
accounted for. In lock
down, all students are
secured in their classrooms and notified of a
potential situation inside
or outside of our building.
Students in grades K-3
received the information
page and worksheet for
the “Great Escape.” The
information is for parents
to review with their children, making sure your
home is equipped with a
working fire alarm and
designing and practicing
an emergency escape plan.
These are just two things
you can do to help keep
your family safe from
home fires.

Congratulations to students, staff, families and our
c o m m u n i t y – S p r i n g fi e l d
Local Schools has been
awarded the highest rating by
the Ohio Department of Education–Excellent with Distinction.
The Ohio Department of
Education has released its
preliminary ratings of all
Ohio schools for the 2011-12
school year. Springfield
Local Schools achieved an
Excellent with Distinction
rating. We are very proud of
the hard work of our students
and staff, our parent and family support and the ongoing
support of our community
that resulted in this rating.
This is the fourth year in a
row that the district has
Salvation Army
now accepting
applications
for holiday
assistance
achieved the rating of Excellent or higher–congratulations to everyone!
State ratings are based on
student performance on the
Ohio Achievement Assessments, the Ohio Graduation
Tests, graduation and attendance rates, and a calculated
formula called Value Added.
The Value Added formula
calculates student progress
over a period of one year.
Schools may fall below, meet
or exceed the projected
progress calculation. Those
results along with test scores,
attendance and graduation
rates contribute to a school
rating and the overall school
district rating.
A school and district may
be rated as follows: Academic Emergency, Academic
Watch, Continuous Improvement, Effective, Excellent
and Excellent with Distinction.
This year, Crissey, Holland, and Holloway elementary schools each individually
earned the rating of Excellent
with Distinction. Springfield
High School, Springfield
Middle School and Dorr Elementary School each individually earned an Excellent
rating.
The culmination of the
outstanding performances by
all six buildings resulted in
the Springfield Local School
District earning the highest
rating of Excellent with Distinction.
As a school district and as
a community, we have a great
deal to be proud of.

By Sean Maiolo
The Blue Devils failed to
salvage the home half of
their season, falling to the
visiting Bowling Green Bobcats 42-20 and some of the
luster of this year’s homecoming festivities.
The loss drops them to 17 overall and 1-4 in Northern
Lakes League play.
Things turned sour almost immediately when the
Bobcats squib kicked the
opening kickoff, something
that did not show up in the
Blue Devils’ film study all
week but nonetheless the
team should have been prepared for it, according to
Head Coach Pat Gucciardo.
The kick bounced off a Blue
Devil on the front line of the
return team and the live ball
was recovered by the Bobcats.
“I’m sure that they were
afraid of our deep guys returning it,” said Gucciardo.
“It’s something we do cover
on a weekly basis, all the different types of kicks and
special teams on kickoff returns and obviously we didn’t execute very well.”
Although Bowling Green
(3-5, 1-4) went three and out
on that initial drive, the poor
play on special teams proved
an omen for Springfield despite a promising opening
drive.
Senior Clay Fink completed a pair of big passes to
move the Blue Devils into
striking distance and a nineyard run by junior tailback
Elijah Todd pushed them just
short of the sticks.
The Blue Devils opted to
go for it on fourth down, and
Fink found receiver JeSean
Fisher wide open in the middle of the end zone but it
slipped through the sophomore’s hands.
That, too, was another
ominous sign as Fisher, despite scoring the Blue Devils’ first touchdown, dropped
two more open passes in the
end zone later in the contest.
“That’s tough. The kid
had a tough night, and it’s
just one of those things,”
Gucciardo said. “Our offensive staff did a nice job of
finding those defects in the
defense and getting him free
but he’s got to make a play.
But we’ll live and learn.”
Springfield’s
defense
quickly went south following a pair of three and out
drives that kept the team
from slipping following their
early special teams and offensive woes.
The Bobcats put the first
points on the board late in
the first quarter on a 15-yard
touchdown pass and benefited from another fumbled
squib kick following the
score and not recovering an
onside kick later in the half.
“The first one, you know,
you can take that one, that’s
not a problem,” Gucciardo
said. “The second one, you
can’t have that happen twice
and the third one was inexcusable. It was a good learning lesson for the kids to see
why we do these things in
practice…or else somebody
can take advantage of you.”
The defense allowed the
Bobcats to score touchdowns on all three of their
second quarter drives. Meanwhile, the special teams continued
their
struggles,
missing the extra point on
the Blue Devils’ only score.
Those factors landed
Springfield in a 28-6 hole at
the break.
“We just have to get
tougher defensively and
that’s the bottom line,” said
Gucciardo.
“We’re missing tackles,
we’re not making plays, and
that’s the gist of it. We’ve
got to get tougher at the

point of attack and make
tackles.
Things only got worse for
Springfield in the third quarter when the Bobcats
marched down the field for a
quick six points on a 54-yard
strike, taking advantage of
some confusion in the Blue
Devil secondary along with
a third dropped ball in the
end zone on offense.
“The [safety] coverage
was supposed to be deep
pass and he was playing flat
coverage rolling underneath
it and he got completely lost
and turned around realizing
the coverage late…and obviously was way behind it,”
Gucciardo said.
The Blue Devils did
notch 14 points in the fourth
quarter but another Bobcat
touchdown between Springfield’s two scores effectively
sealed the game.
Todd again put in a solid
performance with 142 yards
on the ground despite a pair
of injuries sustained at the
end of each half. Fink also
looked sharp despite a few
picks with 181 yards through
the air and all three touchdown passes.
“I thought Clay played
very well on Friday,” Gucciardo said. “He did get his
completions, threw some
great balls that should have
been touchdowns, but he
also missed in some good
spots where [the defense]
couldn’t get it.”
Despite their performances as well as a strong
showing from junior wideout Nevada Parker, the Blue
Devils finished winless at
home in Gucciardo’s first
season.
That was something Gucciardo did not expect eight
weeks ago when the team
first took the field.
He said the players, especially the seniors, feel at
least as upset about it as him.
“The thing that we’ve
been preaching is our mental
toughness, and we’ve got to
get tougher for this program
to evolve, [we can’t] take for
granted how tough kids are
traditionally in high school
football,” he added.
“They’re not used to
being tough. It’s not an easy
game by any stretch, and you
have to be mean. You have
to be nasty and right now,
that’s not where we’re at and
we’ve got to get there.”

PET OF THE WEEK
LITTLE MAN
Little Man is a 3-yearold male German Shepherd
mix. He was brought into
the Toledo Area Humane
Society through the cruelty
department because his
owner could not afford to
take care of him.
Little Man is a shy and
independent dog who likes
to be his own boss. He will
seek you out when he
wants some attention, or he
may choose to enjoy a little time by himself.
Little Man lived with other dogs in his previous home
and was friendly and playful with the group. Having another
dog in the house may help him adjust to a new home. He has
never been around cats and should be properly introduced
to any cats that live in the home. He has been neutered, examined by a staff veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations,
and is microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,

which stood vacant for several years.
Monday through Friday, from
6:30 to 7:30 a.m., and from 4
to 7 p.m.
The Holloway building
will only be open for walkers
on days when school is in session. If school is delayed or

If a school bus is stopped on a
road divided into four or more
lanes, only traffic driving in
the same direction as the bus
must stop.
“While school buses remain the safest mode of travel
on Ohio roadways, school bus
crashes still occur,” said
Colonel John Born, Patrol superintendent. “In order to
make this school year safe,
we need motorists to be patient and never pass a stopped
school bus and for children to
always wait for their bus
driver to signal it is safe to
cross the roadway.”
From 2009-11, Ohio reported 4,946 crashes involving a school bus. During that
same time period, troopers issued 1,333 citations for passing a stopped school bus.

National School Bus Safety
week set for October 22-26
The Ohio State Highway
Patrol will be participating in
National School Bus Safety
week which runs October 22
through 26. This year’s
theme, “I See the Driver. The
Driver Sees Me!” reminds
children to look both ways
and wait for the go ahead
from the bus driver before
crossing the roadway.
Throughout the week,
troopers across the state of
Ohio will be highly visible,
enforcing the law in and
around school zones and following school buses on their
daily routes. In addition,
troopers may be found riding
on school buses looking for
motorists passing the stopped
school bus and other crashcausing violations.
The greatest risk to children occurs outside the
school bus, as injuries and fatalities result from motorists
who attempt to pass a stopped
school bus. Ohio law requires motorists approaching
from either direction of a
stopped school bus to stop at
week after school for an hour.
They work on a variety of
running skills and other
strategies to make them the
best runners they can be.

Students of the Month
Crissey Elementary
SCHOOL NEWS
By Principal Steven Lee
Character Counts
Each month, faculty and
staff at Crissey Elementary
School recognize students
who have exemplified exceptional character related
to a specific trait.
The character trait that
students focused on for the
month of September was responsibility.
Throughout the month,
the Crissey staff helped students understand what it
means to be responsible.
Students had an opportunity
to demonstrate responsibility throughout all aspects of
their school day.
Some ways responsibility was displayed by students was in completing
homework, cleaning-up tables at lunch, helping
friends at recess, and following school rules.
At the end of the month,
all classroom teachers selected one student whom
they felt demonstrated great
responsibility.
These students were
Grace Langendonk, Ella
Sigman, Zoe Christian,
Jylian Seibert, Justice Johnson, Taylor Orner, Madelyn
Lands, Brittany Robinson,
Elise Dodson, Corinne
Shull, Kenley Koval, Brie
Sensenstein, Reagan Hasenaur, Julio Ramirez, Simran
Sharma, Reagan Christie,
Paige Livengood, Allison
Beale and Megan Sponseller.
These Students of Character for the month of September have their pictures
displayed in the hallway,
and will be honored at an
upcoming awards assembly
in front of students, staff and
parents.
‘Seussical the Musical’ to be performed at Notre Dame Academy
“Seussical the Musical”
will be performed on October 26, and 27, at 7 p.m., and
October 28, at 2 p.m., at the
Ave Maria Performing Arts
Center at Notre Dame Academy, 3535 West Sylvania
Avenue.
In the musical, the Cat in
the Hat tells the story of
Horton, an elephant who
discovers a speck of dust
containing Whos, including
Jojo, a Who child sent off to
a butter battling military
school for thinking too many
“thinks.”
Horton’s attention to the
speck of dust and his “loitering” care of Mayzie
LaBird’s egg has elicited
taunting and accusations
from the rest of the animal
kingdom,
except
for
Gertrude McFuzz, who
longs for his attention, and
JoJo, whose “thinks” save
them all in the end.
More than 75 students
from Notre Dame Academy,
St. John’s Jesuit High
School and St. Francis de
Sales High School are involved in the production.

We Will Keep Ourselves
and Others Safe …
Each morning the students hear this phrase on the
announcements as one of the
Dorr Statements of Belief.
In honoring this Belief at
Dorr, we recognized Fire
Safety Week with our students and had special visitors at our school to provide
education in fire safety.
Our local Springfield
Township Fire Department
sent representatives to share
their expertise with our
kindergarten students about
how to keep safe in preventing fires and what to do in
the event of a fire.
The students were able to
