Safety First

On November 18, staff from Newington, NH, Fire and Rescue visited Birchtree to speak to our students and staff about fire safety.

Students enjoyed meeting the fire-fighters and examining their equipment. The visit also gave these first-responders an opportunity to get to know our students and learn more about the special challenges our students could face during an emergency.

At the end of their visit, the fire and rescue staff observed our students and staff conducting a school-wide fire drill. In spite of the piercing alarm, flashing lights, and disruption to their daily routine, students and staff grabbed their winter coats, exited the building safely and efficiently, and then gathered in the designated safe area. It was a proud moment for Birchtree!

Thank you, Newington Fire and Rescue, for your wonderful support!
