NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Today (Wednesday, 11-7-2022) we had two incidents that resulted in safety drills.
The first incident happened around 10:45 when some students on the playground noticed strange people at the railyard and were concerned. We secured the building (brought all students indoors) and called the police. The police informed us that there were several agencies investigating the fire from the weekend, and that is what we saw. We were able to quickly end the securing of the building and our day went on as usual.
Around 12:45 the fire alarms went off. This was not a drill. We successfully evacuated the building, then waited for the fire department to let us know that we could re-enter. They found the heat sensor problem, and we were able to bring students back into the building. Students and staff did get pretty wet with this evacuation. We moved as quickly and safely as possible.
Students and staff were amazing with both events. It was good to know that our safety practices are solid and our students and staff know what to do and follow the procedures well. |

NEWS AND PICTURES WALKING WEDNESDAY At least 94 students and 15 adults (109 total) walked, biked or scootered into school on Wednesday morning. While it was rainy, it was relatively warm and pleasant. Participants got a chance to get a little exercise and enjoy each others company. Team Voyagers had the best turnout but the other 4-6 communities had good turnouts too for this time of year. Thanks to all who helped lead or who joined in on the event. A student from Voyagers and one from Adventurers won the participant raffle for the waterbottles. Pictures of them will be in the next announcements. Link to 23 Walking Wednesday Pictures. DREAMERS - BROGLE This group of students found a lot of joy in their free-play time period early on Wednesday, 12-7-2022. They played with toys in a large tub, styled hair on manikins, worked on puzzles, made gingerbread people, and played with a type of playdough. Link to 22 Pictures. TRAVELERS TWINS |
