Community Helpers Week!

Our first speaker was Jake Parmer from North East Mississippi Electric Power Association.

He spoke to the children about his job.  Here he is showing how they repair electrical lines by splicing them together.

Once the wire has been spliced, it can't be pulled apart.

He let us try on his giant safety gloves.

And his hard hat.

It was a little bit big on us.

Rivers

He brought us our very own lineman hats and a bunch of other goodies and answered all of our questions.

On Wednesday, two Police Officers came to speak to the class.

Officers Weekley and Brown answered all of our questions and talked to us about safety.

Here we are sporting our own police hats and a "mean mugging" expression.

"Charlie's Angels" Style

Caroline

Nurse Lindsey Hemphill came to talk to the children on Wednesday as well.  

She brought fun tools for the children to try out.

Taking my temperature.

Listening to our heartbeats.

On Thursday, Briley's grandmother came to talk to the children about being a nurse practitioner.

We tried out her tools as well.

Group hug!

Also on Thursday, Dr. Allison Ross came to talk to us about her job as a dentist and how to take good care of our teeth.  We all had a turn brushing his teeth.

On Friday, Ruby's mom, Lesley, came to talk to the children about her job as a professor at Ole Miss.

We love cheering for the Rebels!

What a fun and engaging week!  Thanks so much to all of our wonderful speakers for making this possible!
