***** Field trip to the Fire station!! Friday April 19th. parents are welcome to attend, there will not be room for younger siblings so please make arrangements. Students are welcome to meet at my house at 8:45 or meet at the fire station at 9:30. Please let me know if you would like your child to ride with you or carpool to the facility. This particular fire station does a great job, it is not the closest but in my experience they put on the best presentation. The address is 14550 E Sands Ranch Rd, Vail, AZ .
