Our Stone Soup Celebration

A Visit with Dispatch

During our visit with Wayne from Brattleboro Dispatch, we practiced who and how to call for help (Call 911.) Please help your child learn their address and phone number (questions that the dispatcher asks for) in case they ever need to call for help.

A Visit with Rescue

Rescue EMT's came to visit our class as part of our study about community helpers. They showed us how they use their tools (such as the heart monitor) to see how someone is feeling. Then we had a chance to see inside their ambulance before they had to head out to help someone.

A Visit with Trooper Waitekus

Vermont State Trooper, John Waitekus, visited with us and let us check out his cool cruiser!

A Visit with Captain Carignan

As part of our study of community helpers, we had a visit with Captain Carignan of the Brattleboro Police Department. He talked to us about police officers do; what is on their belts (radio, handcuffs, a baton, etc.); and how important reading and writing is to become a police officer. Thank you, Captain Carignan!

A Visit with the Public Works Department
