Our Group:
Heather, Gracie, Abby, Hannah, Carlie, Aiden, Stephen, David, and Skyler
Well, today I got to experience my first Farm Safety Day :) I say that like it's a big deal or something, but I have always heard of it and since it was just for 5th graders, I didn't know what it was so I was curious. It was really fun, and a great break for the kids from school! They had 10 safety stations set up. We were all split into groups, and since all the private schools (3) in Stuttgart aren't very big, we all got grouped together, plus we had one home school student in our group (Carlie's new friend). There were also two public schools there (Stuttgart and DeWitt). Anyway, we were told that our group was the best behaved :)
Here are some of the kids at our first station, the smoke house (fire safety):
Waiting to go into our first station...fire safety. They filled a
little house with smoke and told the kids what to do in case it
ever happened to them.
Carlie was the last person to get out of the smoke house!
She said all the boys ran in front of her :) BOYS!!
Next we headed over to the lawn mower/tractor safety.
Above is Dummy Dan, he got caught in the PTO of the mower.
The kids thought it was pretty cool and some laughed, but I think they
got the picture :)

There were more stations that I didn't take pictures at because they were either watching movies or we were just busy helping pass stuff out to our students. The most scary video/station that they went to was the Bungee station which of course talked about safety around grain bins/loading grain trucks, etc. They told some pretty scary stories of accidents. Nobody likes to hear those things, but they do happen and I guess the kids need to know to be extra careful of those things.
Time to go back to school, but it was great while it lasted :)
