Lilja Lions
Your Weekly Update from Lilja Elementary School
Dr. Marscher's Message
Each year our School resource Officer, Beth Heffler, visits each classroom at Lilja to introduce herself to all of our Lions and share some of the ways that she works at our school. On Monday of this week, Officer Heffler spoke to each class about the many ways we practice being safe inside our school.
Today, we had a safety drills to do some of this practice together. During this drill, an announcement is made over the loudspeaker and our teachers guide their students in following silent directions, moving around the classroom as a team. We refer to this as "Silent Simon Says."
I am proud to say our Lilja Lions did an amazing job!
