🚓👮♂️ Twin Cedars Preschool had an exciting visitor today! Lieutenant Kingery stopped by and gave us a tour of his patrol car! 🚔✨
The kids got to check out the flashing lights and sirens 🚨, see the computer inside the car 💻, learn about stop sticks, and saw the drone! 🚁 One of the biggest highlights was everyone getting a turn sitting in the back of the patrol car! 😄
It was such a fun and educational experience, and our preschoolers absolutely LOVED every minute of it! 💙 Thank you, Lieutenant Kingery for taking the time to visit Twin Cedars Preschool and teach us all about what you do to help keep our community safe! 👏😊
