Deputy For A Day
Gracie and her preschool class had their second field trip of the year today. They didn't exactly go far, in fact they walked there.
The class lined up with a few of us parent volunteers and found a spot on the shape rope and walked the few blocks to Strasburg Town Hall.
They we were greeted by Lt. Robinson who is in charge of patrol. He was so patient as he dealt with 17 4 & 5 year olds and their stories, questions, and random remarks. A few of the kids were able to answer his questions intelligently though. And, each one loved the sticker badges they got when we first arrived.
The kids listened (sort of) to a talk about stranger safety, and then went on a tour of the police station. Although, much to the boys' dismay, we did not see the jail. They did get to meet a bike officer and see his very expensive bicycle. He also took them out to the parking lot and let them see a patrol car. He even turned on the sirens and let the kids see inside the car. The kids went a step further and many crawled in the back and front seats to get a closer look. My shy Gracie of course stood at the back of the pack, but she listened intently the whole trip through.
The whole trip lasted about 45 minutes, but it was neat to watch the kids so interested. Of course I love getting to participate in her preschool day any time I can.
I have pictures in the Preschool Picasa folder if you want to see (scroll to the bottom).
