Yesterday, we ran a super successful evacuation drill. Our students calmly, quietly and quickly followed all of our instructions and performed like champs. Thank you to the Chittenden Emergency Management Team, the Chittenden Fire Department and the Pittsford PD for coordinating their services and practicing with us!
