Muster in Cabazon

 

Students at the Cabazon Elementary School celebrated the end of another successful year of partnership with Riverside County Firefighters in the Firefighters As Role Models (FARM) program.

 

Throughout the school year, Firefighters go into the classroom once a month for an hour to help the teacher with curriculum such as reading, math, and social studies. They also teach fire service related subjects like use of equipment and first aid. In addition, the FARM students go on field trips with Firefighters, including a cooking program at Station 24.

 

Cabazon Fire Station #24 and the Cabazon Elementary School held their 4^th Annual Muster on Tuesday June 8, 2004 at the Cabazon Park. Activities included water-ball and a bucket brigade. The muster winners received trophies, and drawings were conducted that provided prizes for every child in school. The prizes are donations from the community and included backpacks, CDs, DVDs, hats, watches, and stuffed animals. The large prizes, two bicycles and helmets for every class in the school, were purchased with donations from the Morongo Casino and the Cabazon Outlet Mall.

Engineer Dave Parker, and the Firefighters from Cabazon Fire Station #24, have invested an amazing amount of time and engery into the FARM program. Their efforts have positively impacted the lives of hundreds of children in Cabazon.
