But for Kiernan Deer, a second-grader at Saint Mary School in Buffalo Grove being a fireman and riding on a fire truck is his dream.

Now you can't just walk into a fire station and ask to have a ride. The Buffalo Grove fire station that is just around the corner of Saint Mary School donated a ride on a fire truck to the Saint Mary School annual fundraiser Jingle Jubilee.

School Reviews:

  • Recommended March 05,2013 - St. Mary is a wonderful environment for children to learn and grow as individuals. They are constantly advancing their academics and keeping pace with technology all while offering music, art & many other extras at no extra cost. It is a safe and welcoming community for all our children, where everyone knows their name. I highly recommend PreKthru 8th grade.*-Posted by Parent *
