EVACUATION... *DunDunDun* ... DRILL! LOL

Now if you read my title, we had an evacuation today. But don't worry, it was only a drill. We were assigned jobs and decided our partners yesterday during advisory. I was partnered with Jolene ANNE(x Agag. Our job was to go on the football field and direct where the students need to go on the bleachers. Our main goal was to get every student on the bleachers and keep them quiet in case this was a real emergency. In my opinion, i think that we were still too close to the school, and i think we should have moved farther down, but i guess it was still okay. So anyway, i was with Jolene, by the very first part of benches. We had to make sure that the students started sitting by us first, and then move down and towards the left. Before the evacuation started, we got to our stations and just waited. I was up by the bleachers and Jolene was on the ground going to direct them up to me, and i would tell them where to sit. I was kind of nervous. I know you're thinking why i would be so nervous about an evacuation drill. That i wasn't nervous about. What i was nervous about was the eighth graders smashing me against the railing. And i should've been prepared because my prediction came true. I was being smashed because they weren't in a single file. I had to move to the empty benches lower and go down as the rows got filled. We had to skip a row because it was too muddy. I wasn't sure if it was allowed because we had to make sure everyone fit but in the end, it turned out alright. We later helped the other groups place the students on the benches. I would say that this event was pretty productive, because in my mind things went as planned. I think that this was good, but should have been done earlier in the year in case there was a real emergency, students would know where to go ahead of time. But at least they know now and that's what's important. Kbye. ^0^
