Trumbauersville Elementary Life Skills program, with the help of the high school Best Buddies, visited the Trumbauersville Fire Co. for their April Community-Based Instruction trip.
Students practiced walking on the sidewalk through the neighborhood and practiced how to safely cross the street. Students then learned about fire safety while engaging in hands-on activities with the firefighters. Students had the opportunity to explore the firetruck, use the firehose, and practice stop-drop-and-roll!
To end the activities, students had the chance to order Rita’s Italian Ice at a small stand and eat together with the firefighters and Best Buddies.
Community-Based Instruction trips give students the opportunity to practice functional skills in the community setting, all while having fun.
