The Clarendon Fire Department and Clarendon Firebelles hosted their annual Open House Saturday, October 12, and awarded the winners of this year’s Fire Prevention Poster Contest.
The contest was open to all Clarendon Elementary students. The students were asked to color posters that best exemplified this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Prevent Kitchen Fire…Get Cooking With Fire Safety.” The posters were anonymously judged by members of the fire department.
The winners were as follows: Headstart/Pre-K/PPCD – 1st Place Ronan
Howard, 2nd Place Aubrey Stidham, 3rd Place Lindley Hill. Kindergarten/1st Grade – 1st Place Tandie Cummins, 2nd Place Ethan Vogelgesang, 3rd Place Wrangler Etcheson. 2nd/3rd Grades: 1st Place Jayde Gribble, 2nd Place Harrison Howard, 3rd Place Finley Cunningham. 4th/5th Grades: 1st Place Kailee Osburn, 2nd Place Jacie Kysar, and 3rd Place Lindsey Davidson. Division 5: 1st Place Mya Edwards, 2nd Place Kyler Bell, and 3rd Place Patrick Dickerson.
During the Open House students and their families enjoyed refreshments and were able to explore the fire station. The local firefighters also demonstrated how to properly use a kitchen fire extinguisher and how the Jaws of Life work. After the poster winners were announced, the kids enjoyed a ride on the fire trucks.
