On November 25, 2024, our school community came together to honor our Junior Firefighters for their dedication and tireless efforts in protecting our community during the recent wildfires.
Each Kindergarten and 1st-grade class “adopted” a firefighter, creating drawings and thank-you notes to show their appreciation. In grades 2-6, each homeroom made a large thank-you card, with every student adding their name and a personal message of thanks. The students then presented these cards and pictures to the firefighters.
These young heroes not only supported our community during the emergency but also volunteered their time to assist in the fight against the fire in Orange County. Their selflessness and commitment to service are truly inspiring, and we want to express our deepest gratitude for all they do.
