Students at Oxford Hills Christian Academy received Sparky Educator kits on Tuesday, Oct. 11. The school is one of hundreds of fire departments and schools across the country receiving kits from State Farm agents.

Each kit includes a Sparky stuffed animal, a large educator book, lesson plan and books to be distributed to children. The kit is designed to educate preschool through second grade students. Topics include the importance of smoke alarms, creating a home fire escape plan and more, according to a news release from State Farm Agent Justin Campbell.

“These materials capture the attention of young audiences in a fun, but educational way,” said Campbell, who visited with the students on Tuesday. “Many fires are preventable, and we want to ensure our local kids know how to not only avoid starting fires, but what to do in case one does happen.”

Parents and educators looking for resources can visit the National Fire Protection Association Sparky site at sparky.org.

The site offers educational videos, activities, games and more.
