Day 12: #30DaysOfGratitude

Partnerships are a recurring theme when it comes to gratitude, because in Plainfield, we have so many dedicated partners. Today, the spotlight is going to shine on the Plainfield Fire Territory. 

During Fire Safety Week, these Brentwood kindergarten students spent time with some of Plainfield's best firefighters.

They host countless field trips, they bring their trucks for "Touch a Truck Day," and they spend hours in our elementary schools during Fire Safety Week. They are funny, and serious. They are kind and gentle, even when wearing all of their gear. And they make our lessons about fire safety much more interesting and real-life. 

So today, let's take a moment to say THANK YOU to our firefighters. Thank you for being kind, approachable, brave, for putting the needs of others before your own, and for taking such wonderful care of our students, and our community.

Also, thank you to Brentwood Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Chambers, for the wonderful photos from her class.
