Thank You, Heroes!

We had some special visitors in KA today! As the nation remembered 9/11, the KA Monkeys honored some of the heroes that keep us safe every day. Yesterday, we talked about community helpers and some of the things that police officers and firefighters do for our Flint Hill School community. We then made thank you cards for these local heroes. (Credit to Erica Bohrer for the lovely paper for our cards!)

Today after lunch, we had a surprise visit from Mr. Doug and some Fairfax County police officers and firefighters! We were able to give them our cards and ask them LOTS of questions. We learned some new facts as well... ask your kindergartner why dalmatians are fire dogs or why lots of firemen have mustaches :)

It was such a special day celebrating these heroes and remembering all that they do for us. THANK YOU!
