Stories From The Great ShakeOut

Adela Muñoz
(Director - Meher Montessori Schools)

I am so proud of all of the staff and children of Meher Montessori School. Our School participated in the drill at 10:20 am. When the lights flashed and went out you could feel and hear the silence through out the school and then hear as the students dropped and took cover. After about a minute of holding on, all 130 staff and students exited the building in an orderly and controlled manner. The children were silent and calm. Even our new 3 and 4 year olds that were experiencing an earthquake drill for the first time did a fantastic job. No crying! They were well prepared and knew what to expect and took it very seriously. Great job Meher!!!!
