Orange Beach City Schools celebrated First Responder Appreciation Day by welcoming members of the Orange Beach Police Department and Orange Beach Fire Rescue to Orange Beach Elementary School and Orange Beach Middle & High School for a special appreciation lunch honoring their service and dedication to the community.

Students played an important role in the celebrations, with Peer Helpers greeting guests at Orange Beach Elementary School and Student Government Association members welcoming first responders at Orange Beach Middle & High School. Hospitality and Tourism students also put their skills into action by decorating the lunchroom and serving meals to the honored guests.

Orange Beach City Schools extends its sincere appreciation to the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our schools and community safe. A special thank you to Hurricane Grill & Wings for generously providing the meals and helping the district recognize our hometown heroes.
