Seymour students learn safety, storytelling, cancer awareness

Bungay School shares October events

SEYMOUR - Members of Great Hill Hose Company visited students in kindergarten through Grade 3 earlier this month at Bungay Elementary School.
The children learned valuable facts about smoke detectors, dialing 9-1-1, and stop, drop, and roll.  
The firemen also showed the children their “gear” that they wear while working at a fire, and explained that they should not be alarmed by the firefighters’ appearance in the event of a fire.  
The favorite part of the presentation was going outdoors and seeing a real fire truck.

Thank you to the Great Hill Hose Company and all the volunteer firemen for bringing this helpful program to our students.

Author Eshu Bumpus, pictured above, joined third graders to share entertaining folktales with them.
After his storytelling, he visited each of the four classrooms to help the students plan their very own interdiction stories. 
In the stories, they are the main characters with a special talent that will get them out of their problem. They received stickers that will help them map out their settings in future sessions.

Students and staff celebrated Seymour Pink, Inc. in support of breast cancer awareness.  It was a wonderful sight to see everyone dressed in pink, (there even was some pink hair), while endorsing this very special event. 
Even the school was decorated to match the upbeat mood to help eradicate this disease. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Bungay School staff would like to send a sincere thank you to everyone who donated and/or purchased this year’s T-shirt.
