Homeschool Kids on Call to Ride Along with First Responder in Rookie Rescuer Curriculum

Gray, TN, November 14, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Shark bites, building fires, explosions, and wild fires are all in a day’s work for homeschoolers, thanks to Tommy Neiman’s Rookie Rescuer workbook. Neiman, a career firefighter and paramedic, put over thirty years of experience on paper to interest kids in first responder work.

“Homeschoolers love to support other homeschoolers,” said Gena Suarez of The Old Schoolhouse®. “That’s why I know homeschool families will appreciate that Tommy Neiman and his wife homeschooled their own children. Not only is Tommy an expert as a first responder, but he also knows firsthand what homeschoolers want for their children. Rookie Rescuer is Biblically sound with memory verses and spiritual questions to promote dialogue with students.”

Neiman, once honored as “Florida Firefighter of the Year,” appears as “Firefighter Tom” on the pages of Rookie Rescuer. His colorful workbook contains twelve action-packed units or “calls” with space for students to write in answers. “Rookie Rescuer creates awareness and respect for first responders. Kids experience emergency calls in real but non-graphic ways,” said Neiman. Rookie Rescuer includes instructions for parents for three “field trip” visits to a local fire station, an EMS station, and a fire hydrant.

“Rookie Rescuer will be a favorite for your second through sixth grader,” added Suarez. “This valuable workbook would be wildly popular in a co-op class too. See for yourself. Go to the Rookie Rescue site (rookierescuer.com) to check out the first chapter and see how it holds student interest—and parents’ interest.”
