Hello families,

This week, we practiced our man-made emergency drill. When we talk to our students about these kinds of drills, we talk about what to do if there is an in-truder in the building As always, our first priority is to keep students safe, and will emphasize to our students that the first thing they need to do is listen to their teacher's directions. We practiced moving quickly and quietly to a safe place, but at no time were students ever in danger. We encourage you to reas-sure your child that school is a safe place and our staff will always protect them from danger. Please give us a call if you have any questions.

Don't forget to join us at our sing along on December 9th at Barnes and Noble in Greenwood! There is more information in the newsletter. Each team has a time scheduled to come sing Christmas songs with their teachers. We will even have our new school service dog there for you to see! We can't wait to see you then!

Mrs. Jewell
