Community Helpers: Firefighters

Help me give my students snacks to give to the firefighters that work near our school community.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. M.'s classroom raised $499

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

One of the problems that my community faces is that community helpers are not appreciated. It is seem like everyone takes for granted the work that the community helpers do. We want to show our appreciation by making posters, thank you cards and give snacks to the firefighters that work near our school. The students will be learning about different community helpers and how they help out. It will also share ways children can be active, responsible, and conscientious members of the community. Encourage children to be active citizens and help them understand that everyone plays an important role in the community. The students will be learning how firefighters put out fires and teaches people how to be safe in case of an emergency.

Help my students give back to the community by providing snack for the firefighters that work near our school.

I will ask a firefighter to visit the class and talk to my students. Getting firsthand stories and advice from a community helper is a great way for my students to become more active and knowledgeable about the community.
