🚒🍂 Touch A Truck at Magic Years! 🍂🚒
Last Friday, Magic Years Center held our Fall Fire Prevention Event, and what a day it was! We had a huge turnout of families come out to explore real emergency vehicles up close. 🚑🚓
Our kiddos climbed into the cab of a fire truck, tried on firefighter helmets, and got a peek at all the tools first responders carry. Inside the classroom, they learned all about fire gear and how to stay safe. 🔥🧯 The smiles said it all!
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special:
👨🚒 Fire Chief Roger Komandt of the Togus and Palermo Fire Departments, along with his wife Cherie Komandt, for teaching our kiddos about fire gear and fire safety
🚒 Julian and Aidan Beale of the Farmingdale Fire Department for bringing the Farmingdale fire truck
🚑 Mac Ginn of Delta Ambulance
🚓 Chad Webster of the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office
We are so grateful for the first responders in our community who keep us safe every day and who take the time to help our little ones feel comfortable and confident around them. 💛

November is National Family Literacy Month
For the fourth year in a row, Congress recognized the success and impact of Family Service Learning by designating the week of Nov. 3-10 as “National Family Service Learning Week.” The week is part of National Family Literacy Month, which is celebrated each November. The National Center for Families Learning (NCFL) shares a variety of resources and information throughout the month to encourage and enable families to learn together. NCFL’s '30 Days of Family Learning' resource provides a month’s worth of family literacy activities to inspire family memories rooted in imagining and learning together. Explore this free resource at 30days.familieslearning.org.
Opps, should have shared this earlier - we are in the middle of National Family Literacy Month - celebrate the month by reading to your children, encourage your children to read more with less devices, consider signing up to become a tutor to help parents read better - you can make a difference.
