MPS - Our fire alarm went off around lunchtime today…….but no fire, just a malfunction. Good news is, our Little Jackets and staff did great exiting the building and following teacher directions. While we had talked about drills, we hadn’t actually done one yet. Just a heads up, in case your student comes home talking about it. Please give me a call if you have any questions!
