The fire trailer visited Acequia today to help our 1st - 2nd grade students learn all about fire safety and prevention!
Take a moment tonight to have a conversation with your child:
✅ Do they know their home address?
✅ Do they know your phone number?
✅ Do they know how to call 911?
✅ Does your family have a meeting spot in case of a fire?
We are so grateful for our local fire department and the important programs they provide to help keep our students and families safe. ❤️
You turn lessons into life skills, challenges into opportunities, and classrooms into safe, joyful spaces where every child feels seen and valued. The work you do doesn’t just teach — it transforms.
We are so lucky that you call Acequia your home. Thank you for showing up each day with heart, dedication, and belief in our Eagles. You make Acequia the incredible place it is.
The sun came out, the smiles were big, and the laps added up quickly! It was truly a beautiful day of fun, fitness, and community. We are grateful for everyone who helped make it such a success.
