Walker Elementary

🎉 Congratulations to William Kolb, our Lucky Winner! 🎉 Walker Elementary is thrilled to announce that William Kolb had an unforgettable experience riding to school in a fire truck, thanks to his participation in our fire safety project! 🚒👏 In partnership with the Springdale Fire Department, we asked Walker students to create a fire escape plan for their homes. The assignment encouraged students to develop vital safety skills by mapping out escape routes, identifying exits, and setting up a family meeting point in case of a fire. We are so proud of all our Wildcats who participated, and special congratulations go to William for his exceptional work on his family’s plan! Way to go, William! Thank you, Walker families and caregivers, for supporting your children in this fun and important activity. Your involvement helps make Walker Elementary a safer place for all. Keep practicing those fire safety plans, Wildcats! 🐾 #WalkerWildcats #FireSafety #CommunityPartners #SpringdaleFamily
