Fire drills

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 22 Apr 22

Fire drills, tornado drills, both are state requirements, I think. I lose track of how many we have to do each year. I just go when they ring the bell or set off the alarm. The principal tells us in advance when it will be. It...
