Weathersfield School news: The school held a lock down drill on Thursday, Nov. 9 at 11:04 a.m.. The students were told earlier in the week by their teachers about the drill so they had the time to talk about it and review the plan. The school practices these drills to acclimate the students to various commands like “Clear the Hall; Secure the Building” and “All Clear.” The school reported that it took less than 30 seconds for the school to be perfectly still, for the kindergartners, who were out on the playground, to go into hiding outside, and for all indoor doors to be locked. More information about these drills and the school call 802-674-5400.
We traveled to Keene, NH to see Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt perform at The Colonial Theatre, it was a Kirschner Concerts Production. The theatre was full and everyone had a great time.
