What a great day it was to see all our students return from their two week break! I enjoyed talking to many of our kids and hearing about their holidays. Several of the students had to make sure to show me what gifts they received. From talking to them, it sounded like they really enjoyed their break and were glad to be back with friends now.
I also want to brag on our students for the manner in which they responded to the fire alarm that was activated this afternoon. The alarm was activated by the use of a microwave in the 6th grade science wing. However, due to a roof leak in another part of the school, a detector had malfunctioned and would not clear to signal that all areas were free of smoke or fire. I was proud of the way the students handled this and waited patiently to get the okay to come back inside.
We have awesome kids at Daniell with super personalities and great maturity. Their stories about the break and the way they acted today support this.
