We had a very exciting morning with a fire alarm. This was not a planned fire drill. It is extremely important in this type of weather that the students show Care for Self by dressing in layers. As we went outside there were so many wearing t-shirts only! This meant a lot of tears and sniffly nose. Speaking of Care, there will be a Pillars of Care assembly on Friday at 8:15. Hopefully four Room 5 students will be selected!
Please read the message below which was sent to you via School Messenger about the fire alarm:
This message is to inform you that students and staff were evacuated from our school around 11:05 am this morning due to a small fire in the boys’ washroom. Calgary Fire and Police responded while students and staff were relocated to St. Bede School. These steps were taken as a precaution to ensure the safety and comfort of students and staff.
The fire was contained to a small area in a restroom and no injuries were sustained. Everyone was back at our school by 12:10 pm and students are now eating lunch.
I want to thank students and staff for handling this situation in such a prompt and responsible manner. Through regular and effective fire drills, students and staff were well rehearsed and able to follow emergency procedures effectively. It was due to their efforts and cooperation that this matter was resolved quickly and safely.
Thank you for your support. If you have any questions about this situation, please feel free to contact me at 403-777-6610.
