🚌 Back to School, Ringgold! 🎒

The Donora Fire Company wants to wish all of our Ringgold School District students, teachers, staff, and families a safe, wonderful, and successful first day of school!

As everyone heads back to class, we ask our drivers to stay extra vigilant on the roads:

Slow Down in School Zones: Watch for reduced speed limits and increased foot traffic.

Stop for School Buses: Always stop when red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended—it's the law, and it keeps our kids safe!

Watch for Pedestrians: Keep an eye out at crosswalks and bus stops, especially during early morning pick-up and afternoon drop-off times.

To all our Rams—work hard, be kind, and make it a great school year! 💙💛

Stronger Together. Always RAMily.
