Agassiz Preschool is holding its annual tree and wreath sale starting December 3rd. Parents and teachers volunteer their time to participate in the sale, and will be on hand to help you pick out the perfect tree or wreath for your home.

It’s a great fundraiser for our school and we’d love your support!

• Monday April 18th, 10:30 am – 11:30 am
  Fire Group 3, Lt. Matthews and Gallegher will be in charge of Engine 4 and Tower 1.

Please reserve your spaces by Wednesday April 13th, as the fire station wants to bring down to the station little plastic helmets and coloring books for the kids. There is a limit of 20 people total per date.

What’s it like?

A tour usually consists of the children coming into the station to see the fire trucks and fire fighters.  A lot of times the children and adults like to sit in the driver’s seat etc, which is fine as long as they’re being watched by a firefighter or responsible adult.  They don’t want kids, or adults, falling off of the trucks.

Sometimes the firefighters put on the gear to show the kids what a firefighter looks like when he has his mask, helmet, gloves and jacket on.  Sometimes they’ll let the teachers try on the gear to see and feel the weight of the gear.  All in all it’s usually an enjoyable time for the fire fighters and the visitors.  Feel free to asked them questions about what it’s like to be a firefighter.  (Driving a fire truck, living at a fire station, going into a burning building, saving someone, etc.  It’s the fun side of being a firefighter, and I’m sure they’d loved to talk about it.)

Remember…

…it’s an active fire station, so they may have to go on a call while the kids are there. It’s important that the adults know where the children are, and where to stand if the alarm sounds. The Lieutenants will give us all instruction when we get there,

Glorious day eh? Makes me think of Spring, which is just around the corner. The Youngest Group will be planting in the coming weeks. We need a large bag of soil and some plastic pots and trays. If you think you can get them for us- please see come talk to me.

Thanks so much.

Watch the 17-Time World Champions Boston Celtics take on the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, April 3rd at 6:00 PM.  This excellent pair of seats, donated by a Celtics insider, are located in Section 13, Row 12.

The Boston Celtics are an institution. The franchise has been an integral part of American history and basketball lore. In the remarkable history of the Celtics, the team has won an unprecedented 76 title banners. The words, “Pride”, “Mystique”, “Tradition”, “Teamwork” and the figure of a pint-sized, winking leprechaun leaning on with one arm his shillelagh and hoisting a basketball on his index finger with the other arm, are a few of the ways that fans have come to know the Boston Celtics throughout the years.

Paul Pierce. Rajon Rondo. Kevin Garnett. Ray Allen.

“The Celtics aren’t a team,” Red Auerbach once said. “They’re a way of life.“
