Forrestal Elementary

The North Chicago Fire Department helped kicked off Fire Prevention Month at Forrestal by sharing important information with our kindergartners:

Call 911 in an emergency
Have an exit plan at home in case of a fire
Stop Drop and Roll saves lives
Always know your own address

We thank our firefighters for helping to keep us safe!

Falcon Friends had so much fun yesterday at their team building event hosted by Wilderness Inquiry. A team of Wilderness Inquiry staff led the students in a canoe relay race, different team-building games, and they even got to try on the gear and sit in the canoes. We are so proud of our Falcon Friend Leaders and the positive attitude they bring every day!

Just another way Forrestal students are helping to make the world and our community a better place.
