We had a fire drill at Dressel today. The drill went well and the children did a great job of being safe!!
As a school we do fire drills every month. As a family it is a safe practice to do regular fire drills at home also. It is so simple, and may save a life. As a family, choose an emergency meeting location; this location may be at the tree in your neighbors front yard, or maybe your mailbox if it is far enough away. This will allow your child a safe place to go and stay until all family members reunite, or first responders arrive.
At school we teach the students to drop what they are doing and leave the building as they are, sometimes without shoes or a coat. At home, as we do at school, you can choose the time and weather conditions outside to make this a good experience. We have had an unplanned alarm or two over the years when we have gone outside in inclement weather, and it is good to teach your children that for fire, getting out and staying out is the most important thing.
