Disaster Drill

Today we had a disaster drill.  We worked with the local Emergency Services to show our staff and students what a car accident looks like and how that is handled.  Our students got to view the scene, the extraction, the arrest, and the aftermath at the hospital and police station.  Afterwards several people spoke about the consequences of drinking and driving or texting and driving or doing anything else that could distract a driver.  It was a very powerful assembly.  Please speak with your son or daughter about what they thought about it.  It never hurts to share your feelings about safe behavior with your children.  It also doesn't hurt to tell your loved ones how you feel. 

We decided to haver this as we head into prom weekend, but the lessons learned will hopefully be remembered for many years by all who were here today. 

Thanks to all of the organizations who were involved, our student actors, and Mrs. Schoenwetter for coordinating the event.  Thank you also to our speakers: Andy Bufffington, Pat Trulson,  and Sonny Bruns.  A big thank you to Darcy Eisenman and Joe Schmit who did a great job portraying the parents in our presentation.

Student actors: Emmorie, Colby, Kamille, Sam, Melissa, and Cory
