This morning at 10:00 AM, the State of Nebraska conducted a statewide tornado drill as part of Nebraska Severe Weather Awareness Week. Our students and staff participated in this important safety drill, practicing the procedures we would follow in the event of a tornado warning. This included reviewing where to go and how to respond quickly and safely during severe weather. Practicing these routines helps ensure that everyone is prepared and can respond calmly and effectively in a real emergency. Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our school community safe.
