CHILLY unexpected FIRE DRILL today!

Dear Parents and Guardians,   

If your little one tells you that they went outside without a coat and wearing their indoor shoes, they are telling the truth!


One of the little JK's decided to do his own "inquiry" today ---- "Hmmm... I wonder what this does?"--- After he pulled the fire alarm and heard the bell, he tried to put it back in the hopes of turning it off.  (No such luck!)  It was near the end of our "Quiet Time" and several children were asleep.  So it was quite exciting! (*especially for the teachers)! 

It was chilly outside but because the law dictates that we must wait for the Fire Dept. to give the "All clear!", we were not able to re-enter the school for several minutes. The most important thing is that everybody is safe and has now experienced one more drill practice before the snow flies.

We only ask that you discuss the importance of staying away from the fire alarm switches to avoid this happening again as next time it might be a freezing snow storm!  

Thank you so much for your ongoing support!


PS. Enjoy the "Family Halloween Dance" tonight!   We look forward to our Halloween Costume Parade in the morning and we wish everyone safe Trick or Treating tomorrow night!
