My school building houses two separate schools. One starts at 7:50 and the other at 9:20 in the morning.
At 9:00 am most of the 2nd school would have been in the cafeteria eating breakfast if it's needed or they are socializing. Some students are around the school doing tutoring or trying to get work accomplished that needs to be done with a partner and usually is due eeek that day/next class period/ before lunch/eeek.
Usually fire drills are nosy things, almost festive.
Today we had a fire drill that wasn't a drill at about 9:00. Sooooooo nice to see the students that, depending where they were at the time, were finally taking a fire drill seriously. There was non-panicky concern on their faces as they ran down the hall to the exit. All those drills paid off.
Okay they aren't supposed to run but still... They knew what to do. *grins* Of course those that went out the back door where I was going would have had to change their exiting. The fire alarm was due to an overdone breakfast potpie in a classroom microwave that was in a room just before the door exit. One fire drill a month. Next month we probably need to practice the blocked exit find another door fire drill.
Still so proud of the students though.
