Atlantic City Public Schools Early Childhood Department Celebrated Fire Prevention Week

The Atlantic City Public Schools Early Childhood Department proudly celebrated Fire Prevention Week, dedicating time to teach young learners about the importance of fire safety and preparedness.

Throughout the week, students participated in engaging lessons and hands-on activities designed to help them understand how to stay safe in the event of a fire. Teachers and staff worked together to make the learning experience both educational and enjoyable for every child.

Firefighters from the Atlantic City Fire Department also joined the celebration, visiting classrooms to demonstrate safety equipment, explain emergency procedures, and share real-life stories that inspired the children to take fire safety seriously.

The interactive demonstrations allowed students to see firsthand how firefighters respond during emergencies and how they can help keep their communities safe. The children were thrilled to explore the fire trucks and gear, sparking curiosity and admiration for local first responders.

Parents and guardians were encouraged to reinforce the lessons at home, promoting discussions about fire safety plans and emergency preparedness within their households.

The Early Childhood Department emphasized that starting fire safety education early builds lifelong awareness and confidence in handling emergency situations.

This initiative reflected the district’s commitment to providing students not only with academic growth but also with the practical knowledge needed to protect themselves and others.

By celebrating Fire Prevention Week, the Atlantic City Public Schools strengthened community connections while ensuring that the youngest learners understood the vital message of fire prevention and safety.
