Fire and Rescue Safety Day at Lehman-Jackson
Over 600 students form Lehman-Jackson Elementary recently participated in the PTA sponsored Fire
and Rescue Safety Day. One of the PTAs latest educational “real-life” safety events featured volunteer
firefighters from Lehman and Jackson Township, a fire truck, a rescue truck and also Balu, Fire chief
Dennis Bonning’s rescue dog in training.
Emphasis on this year’s safety program was not on all the latest and greatest shiny features on the fire
trucks, but on what anyone in a real emergency might encounter-noise and chaos. To make the experi-
ence more real, firefighters demonstrated what they would look like in turnout gear, and students then
plugged their ears as firefighters started up their noisy engines, sounded the siren, actually shot water
from the hose and even gave a short demonstration with the “Jaws of Life.”
The favorite of the day was
Lehman Fire Chief Dennis Bonning’s rescue dog in training, Balu. Students were treated to an actual
rescue as teachers and students took turns hiding and Balu had to find them.

The Dallas Middle School German Club held its annual Oktober-
fest. The Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany attracts over six million
visitors each year because of its food, entertainment and fun for
everyone. The German Club members couldn’t go to the real Okto-
berfest, but its members were able to create their own version. Stu-
dents prepared such German desserts as Schwarzwalderkirchtorte,
German Chocolate Cake, and Zuckerplatzchen for club members to
sample. Other students created entertaining displays and amusing
games to play.
