"First Responders Week" was the theme for after school March 18-22. Two EMTs visited on Monday with a rescue vehicle. One of the paramedics was former staff member Jan, whom the children were very excited to see. This visit was followed by the arrival of an ambulance and paramedics. Alex Wittekind even got to take a ride on the stretcher.
The children delivered goody bags to the Sylva Police Department in appreciation for their work in keeping the community safe.
Generation Kids came on Thursday and talked about "if you have a pulse, you have a purpose." They told stories and played games with the kids. Pen Pal letters were also written during the week.
1st Explorers will not meet this week because of Spring Break.
