For Story Hour #4 we watched a video about Smokey, & we made a birthday card for him. The kids pledged to Never play with matches, and they all got Smokey career cards & stickers. Anyone who visits the library before July 8th can also sign the card & pick up some Smokey resources.

It was neat to see some vintage Smokey memorabilia from Teresa’s collection. ♥

She showed us the uniform she wears when fighting grass fires. (It is lighter & a little cooler than the black uniforms they wear when fighting structure fires.)

The kids had lots of questions (& stories) to share. And, one was a great reminder to never put used fireworks in a trashcan by the house! (Remember that bucket of water this Fourth of July!)

We played a S’Mores Relay (cardboard ingredients = no crumbs or stickiness! 😉 )
And, kids completed Smokey activity sheets.

Participants also signed a THANK YOU card for our local Volunteer Firefighters.

We appreciate all they do to keep us SAFE!

Kids then decorated stickers to put on water bottles we donated to the firefighters.
◊
Info sheets were sent home reminding everyone about our upcoming programs (ANIMALS next week, followed by our Grand Finale & Pool Party!).
◊
Information was also given about smoke alarms available (while supplies last).

Remember to get reading logs filled out before July 8th if you want to be in the prize drawing for inflatables, camping gear, & more.

Our collage made great strides Monday… can you see what it is?

We finished the day with some yummy, Fire-Free S’mores Trail Mix! (Smokey would be proud!)
