MEETING THOSE WHO PROTECT US, AND THEIR VEHICLES

Not one, but two, very special guest experts visited the Alpha students this week, and they brought their vehicles for the children to explore. First, it was our own Sergeant Day of CIS who brought the electric vehicle the officers use to travel around our school campus. The children were excited to learn that “Bolt,” as it is dubbed, is powered by electricity, not gas, and it was great fun to climb aboard and pretend to be the driver as well as to examine the engine.
The next visitor was Sergeant Christopher Vaughn of the St. Petersburg Police. Sergeant Chris, who happens to be Mrs. Carson’s brother-in-law, talked with the children about his job of keeping them safe. He also demonstrated some of the features of his police car, including the lights and siren. The boys and girls were thrilled to get up close and personal with a real police car!
