It was a little intense for us parents! Something that I thought was really smart, is that both my kids thought to text me and tell me that they were okay, and exactly which classrooms they were in! Not sure if that’s something they’ve been taught, but I never really thought until today about how smart that is! Then if anything happens, I know exactly where in the school my children are! I am so thankful it turned out okay and very grateful for the officers who take their jobs so seriously in order to protect our children!
