Fact of the Day:  You may think that the Sahara or the Gobi desert would be the driest place on Earth but it actually is Antarctica.  On average, Antarctica only gets about 6.5 inches of rain or snow per year. The most saturated place on Earth is the country of Colombia, receiving a whooping 256 inches of precipitation annually.  

Drill Day:  Please note that today is Drill Day.  We will start with a bus evacuation drill.  Follow all instructions from your bus driver.  Next, will be the Severe Weather Drill. Remember that you need to duck & cover, remain quiet and calm, and listen to your teachers.  Lastly, we will simulate an Intruder Drill. Please listen to your teacher for directions. Unfortunately, we are cancelling the Fire Drill.  Thanks for all your cooperation today during Drill Day.

Happy Birthday tomorrow to Jonathan Tammen, Justin Johnson, and Jake Kocher.  Happy Birthday, gentlemen!!!

LUNCH FOR TODAY:  No Lunch for Today…looking like it’s a PB&J Day!!!  🙂
