Roan rolled up to school in style this morning courtesy of his new best buddies at the Flossmoor Fire Department. With sirens blaring (just a little) and smiles all around, Roan climbed out of the big red truck grinning from ear to ear. Talk about a legendary ride to school that he won’t forget anytime soon!
