Specialized Jobs in the Community

Teachers, School nurses, and Firefighters are all examples of people in the community that we sometimes take for granted. We don't think about all that they do for us everyday. From teaching our children, making sure that when they don't feel good they have someone to take care of them, to protecting us from fires and many other things, these people do a lot for everyone around them.

Teachers dedicate their days to teaching our children everything they need to know to get their education. They spend a lot of time planning activites and assignments for the students to work on in and out of class. Some people don't realize how much time teachers actually spend working on things for school.

School nurses also spend their days at the schools making sure that the students are taken care of if they don't feel good. They also take care of the students injuries and other physical and mental illnesses. In addition to taking care of the students, school nurses also take care of the staff members when needed.

Firefighters protect people and properties from fires. They are the first responders to many different accidents and fires in the community. There are also many specific jobs within the fire department, such as tillers, hose operators, and pump operators. Tillers guide the part part on the fire truck that holds the long ladders. Hose operators connect the hose to the fire hydrants, then the pump operators make sure that the water gets from the hydrants through the hose to put out the fire.

All of these people in the community help others and don't get the thanks that they deserve. We often take them for granted and don't think about all that they do for us everyday. They work really hard to make sure that we get the education we deserve, the help when we get hurt or sick, and the protection we need from fires. So let's try to take time to remember these people and thank them for all that they do!
