Cougar Corner
January 18, 2019
This week we practiced our safety drills, including the ALICE/lockdown, earthquake, bomb, and fire drills. We periodically conduct all these drills to ensure that our students and staff know what to do in an emergency and to ensure that our equipment functions properly.
This is a great opportunity to talk with your family about how to handle emergencies that may occur while you are at home or when out and about. The Red Cross website is a wonderful resource for developing plans for emergencies and includes common emergency scenarios.

Toy Take Apart at Family Science Night
To make this activity a success, we need donations of both mechanical toys (i.e. Jack-in-the-Box, toddler "corn popping" pull toys, or wind-up toys) and electronic toys (i.e. singing/dancing stuffed animals, remote control car/dog, or games like "Operation"). The toys need not be working! Please bring toys to the office by Wednesday, February 20th. Sorry, we most definitely will not be able to return the donated toys.
