Thursday was Community Helpers Day at Troy Elementary School. Kindergarteners were able to meet with firefighters, a City of Troy utility crew, a United States Postal Service mail carrier, police and paramedics with CARE Ambulance. The community helpers spoke to students about their jobs and safety. Then children were allowed to take a closer look at the helpers’ equipment and vehicles. There are 188 kindergarteners enrolled at the Hank Jones Early Childhood Center at TES.
