The Sanborn Weekly ~ May 6, 2008

 

FROM THE SCHOOL OFFICE

 

Emergency Drill Practice a Success

On a regular basis, as a school community, we practice safe evacuation
of the building by having fire drills.   Last Thursday afternoon, May 1,
we conducted a "lockdown" practice.  This simulated the procedures that
we would follow if there was an intruder in the building, a major
disturbance, or a crisis involving weapons.  The children all responded
calmly and within minutes we were able to account for every child and
adult.  Hopefully we will never have the need for a lockdown, but it is
reassuring that all know how to respond just in case.

 

Science Kits to be Refurbished

Our senior volunteer, Mrs. Evelyn Retelle, is going to be refurbishing
our take home Science Kits from the library.  Therefore, we are taking
them offline until next year. Please check to see if you have a kit at
home and return it to the library ASAP.

 

Please Check our Lost and Found

Items from the Lost and Found will be on display in the main corridor
starting tomorrow, Wednesday, May 7. All items not claimed will be
donated to charity at noon on Friday, May 9. 

 

Another Walk to School Day is Planned

Mark your calendars ~ our second Walk to School Day is planned for
Wednesday, May 28th.   More information will be sent out before the
event.
