Boyertown Elementary

For Patriot Day, Kindergarten read the story Fireboat. The book is about an old Fireboat that was unexpectedly needed on September 11th. The class then had a discussion about the many types of community helpers and how they can be helpful to people in emergency situations. The children chose a picture of a community helper to color.
