Today, our OST kiddos did a great job using their time to practice a fire drill 🚨🔥. They were testing the system to make sure it works so we used it as an opportunity for practice. We talked about why fire drills are important and how they help keep everyone safe. The kids listened carefully, followed directions, and practiced walking calmly to our safe meeting spot. Learning what to do during an emergency helps everyone feel confident and prepared. We’re so proud of our OST kiddos and staff for taking safety seriously and working together to keep themselves and their friends safe!
