Exciting News! 🚒🏃‍♂️

We are thrilled to announce a fantastic new partnership between Deer Park Elementary and Pasco Fire Rescue Station 30! Our local firefighters recently joined us for the Color Run and had a blast with our students. We’re excited to continue this collaboration with more fun activities planned for the future.

We’re working on putting together a program where the firefighters will join our PE classes for team sports like flag football, kickball, and basketball. This initiative aims to boost variety the physical fitness training for our firefighters and increase community engagement with our students and provide positive roles models.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership. Together, we’re making a positive impact on our community and fostering strong connections. Thank you, Pasco Fire Rescue, for your dedication and enthusiasm!
