Grade 3 student Thea Gregory and Grade 2 student Tensei Iida were given rides to and from school in a fire truck on January 5 as the result of winning a draw from the Weyburn Fire Department.
During Fire Prevention Week in the fall, students at St. Dominic Savio School were given Fire Safety presentations from various firefighters and were provided with a booklet, which included planning escape routes for their homes and planning a safe family meeting spot, etc. The booklet was optional, completed at home and students could return them to the fire station for a draw.
The prize for draw winners was: being picked up at home and taken to school in a fire truck, picked up again at noon and taken for lunch at McDonalds, then picked up again after school and delivered home.
As part of a public safety initiative, this program is sponsored by the City of Weyburn.
