Officer Schneider Visits
Mrs. Catanese's
Third Grade Class
    On every Monday in Oct/Nov/Dec we have a Michigan State Police Officer named Trooper Schneider come in and talk to us about safety and stuff. When he was here recently he talked about fire and stranger safety. When he talked about fire safety he brought a smoke detector and set it off when we were noisy. ~Kyle

   Officer Schneider is a very nice person. He always remembers our names. He stays until 11:00. Officer Schneider told us about peer pressure. He told us about an experament. Here is the story: There are ten people in a group. There are 10 groups. The teacher tells nine of the people in each group to say the wrong answer. One person in each group has to make a decision. If they copied their friends and said the wrong answer, that would be peer pressure. He told us we are special because we are different. No one is the same as anyone else! No one has fingerprints as you do. Officer Schneider told us to say NO to drugs. He said, "Your friends will be the ones that offer you drugs!" Drugs are alcohol, cigars and tobacco. I really like Officer Schneider. ~Kiara

   Mrs. Catanese's class is special. We have a special person that comes to our class. He is an officer. He is a nice guy. He has a cool belt that he wears. He has cool things on him like a night stick and pepper spray and a gun and hand cuffs and bullets. He likes being a police.
   When I grow up I am saying no to drugs and alcohol and smoking. I am saying no because I do not want to be a junkey. ~Taler

    Officer Schneider comes to Mrs. C class on Monday and teaches us a lesson. When someone you don't know asks for directions don't go near them because they can jump out and grab you and take off. If someone offers you drugs just say no. The reason you should say is because it is bad for your body. ~Austin

    Officer Schneider comes to our class on Mondays. He talks about things like fires and strangers and all that. On Monday he talked about fires. He said fires can be dangerous. Next Monday he talked about strangers. He told us never to talk to strangers. Next he talked about fingerprints. He said nobody has the same fingerprints. ~Toni

     I hate cigarettes and drugs because it's bad for your teeth and your body, plus you. When somebody says hay come on try this stuff say NO I'm not trying this stuff. Don't ever offer me this stuff again. You shouldn't even try it. It's not a good thing. It's actually gross. ~Xana

     Mr. Schneider let us see his equipment. He showed us pepper spray, a night stick and a lot of other things. He showed us his belt and badge. He told us what the badge meant. I have a lot of stories to tell him. His belt is shiny. He didn't spray the pepper spray. ~Cambria

     Officer Schneider is a good Officer. He tries to help us. Officer Schneider is a good teacher. He teaches us about fire danger. Never play with fire.  He told us not to take drugs. Drugs are bad to take. Alcohol is not good for you. ~Matt

     For safety he taught us not to breath in smoke because you would fall asleep in faint. If you are in a fire you should open a window and yell for help. Plus you can get some fresh air. If your bedroom is low you can jump out of the window and get to your meeting place. ~Tighe

     There is a cop that comes in my classroom. His name is Officer Schneider. He told us if our house is on fire take rugs and cloths and put them under your door. If a cop comes to  your house when there is a fire tell the cop where you meet.
      The cop told us to say no to Drugs. Mr. Schneider told us when we are in high school we will be offered Drugs. Office Schneider told us when we are offered Drugs tell the people never offer them to me again.
     Officer Schneider showed us stuff on him . He showed us his hand cuffs. He showed us his night stick. He showed us his pepper spray. He said pepper spray was made out of oil. ~Mark

    Officer Schneider is a really nice guy and teaches us a lot.  One time he talked to us about peer pressure. He told us peer pressure is when some of your friends do something that you don't want to do but you do it any way. He told us what some college people do for a peer pressure test. ~Jarrod

     Don't ever go near a fire. When smoke comes up from the bottom of your door put anything you can find and put it under the crack in your door.
    You don't know how special you are. You are so special. You are very nice. ~McKayla

   We had an officer come in October. His name is John Schneider. He had handcuffs, pepper spray, night stick, a gun, and a badge on his shirt. He taught us how to say no thank you and walk away. He also taught us about fire. Fire is very dangerous to things. Most fires start at night. If you get out of the house and your mom, dad and brother are out there go stand by them because if you are standing somewhere else your parents will think you are inside and firemen would go in and they could die. The most important thing is never hide when you are in a fire.  ~April

     Officer Schneider teaches us different things every week. He works at the Michigan State Police.
     If your house is on fire and the black smoke starts to come under the door you should put something to block it off. ~Bobby

     There is a man named Officer Schneider. He is a very nice man. I like him. He is a policeman. He comes to my school. He talks about fire safety and stealing. He had a friend . He was sleeping. At 2:00 AM all of a sudden a fire started. Then he woke up. Then his family went outside to the back yard. He noticed his brothers weren't there. So he went back in and never came out. That is what he said. Then he talked about stealing. He said there was this kid that stole keys from a car and hid them in the bushes. ~Talia

     Now I'm going to talk about peer pressure. Peer pressure is where you know the right answer but you say what everybody else says. A few days ago our class learned about peer pressure. It was very weird. I think peer pressure is tempting. ~Kelly Jane
