Wow.....

While we were driving home from Target this morning, Collin and Maya were talking about a fire drill they had at their school this week. They were saying how different the alarm sounded at the new school.

Collin then tells me that they are going to practice a lock down next week!! It kind of took me by surprise. I asked him what they were going to do. He told me that they had to lock all of the doors, cover all of the windows and hide under their desks. Then the principal would call 911. I asked him why they would need to do this, and he tells me "In case a bad guy gets in the school." I was really surprised, but it's good that the schools have a plan in case something terrible like that happens!! All I know is when I was growing up, we NEVER did anything like that!! Oh how times are changing...
