🚒 A big thank you to the members of the Washington Fire Department for visiting Central's Extended School Year (ESY) Program!

Our students had a wonderful time learning about fire safety, exploring the fire truck, and meeting the firefighters who serve and protect our community every day. The visit provided an exciting hands-on learning experience and gave students the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the important work firefighters do.

We appreciate the time, dedication, and community support shown by the Washington Fire Department. Thank you for making our day educational, memorable, and fun! 🚒❤️

🐾 We had some very special visitors at the Central Extended School Year Program yesterday! Our students enjoyed spending time with wonderful therapy dogs, sharing smiles, pets, and plenty of tail-wagging moments. Thank you for helping create positive experiences and lasting memories for our students! ❤️🐶
