Pinon Elementary School Revives Old Tradition Of LAFD Visit For Last Day Of K-6+ Friday

Los Alamos Fire Department was on hand Friday at Pinon Elementary School to provide students and staff with some reprieve from the heat in the form of a nice cold spray from firetruck LAPD 3. K-6+ is a free extended learning opportunity for all students to attend school in person for 15 extra days June 1 – 21. Kids, and some adults, frolicked in the spray and were treated to popsicles. Strains of ‘Schools Out For Summer’ filled air. The LAFD visit was such a big hit that Principal Ivanna Austell said it is time to bring it back each year from now on.
