Firefighters visited Agape Montessori to read books to children

The Vicksburg Firefighters from Engine 6 under Chief Craig Danczyck visited Agape Montessori Tuesday morning to read to the preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade and third grade classes.

Firefighter McKinley Skipper was seen reading a silly story to the children. They could be heard erupting in laughter every time he showed them pictures in the book before turning the page. Some of the students waved and smiled as photos of the scene were being captured.

Teachers, Heather Mullins Williams, Jennifer Heldenbrand, Heather Griffin and Tina Sowell sat with their classes smiling as the children enjoyed listening to the story. The kids were also celebrating crazy sock day. It was a special Tuesday for the young students of Agape.

Along with Fire Chief Danczyck and Firefighter Skipper, Lieutenant John Hogan, Lieutenant Josh Davies and Firefighter EMT Josh Howard were onlooking and present. It was a unique treat for the school on an expected sunny day.
