Today at Lincoln Elementary school, during recess, Mr. Peirce and Mrs.
Wampole heard what sounded distinctly like gunshots. They used their
situational awareness and experience to make a split second decision
to get all of their students inside and safe. A lock down was called,
and the police arrived near immediately.
The sound they heard was later confirmed to be aerial fireworks from a nearby location and police gave the all clear.
This is an excellent example of vigilance that keeps our students and staff safe. I am thankful for our caring team members who take action for our students like they were their own children and I had to share it with everyone.
Have a great weekend!
