As a teacher at Krause Elementary, I am so impressed by the way this situation was handled by all. We got the lock-down announcement and everyone from administration to teachers to other staff jumped right into action to make sure all of the students were safe. We’re trained for situations, but it’s usually practice. Way to go Krause!!!
Absolutely agree with this! Our students handled the situation amazingly! While I am sad that we live in a world where students have to be trained for lockdowns, today I was proud of how they handle it!
60 years ago it we practiced under our desks for an atomic bomb event. The world’s always been crazy, different times.
