The Thursday Post for October 8

Last week kindergarten and first graders had the opportunity to visit the Smoke House and tour a fire truck from the Alpharetta Fire Department.  We learned a lot about fire safety! 

                                       

Many thanks to those of you who braved the the rain and bees to walk to school on International Walk to School Day.
