Have They Checked for Spiders?

Not one, not two, but THREE fire alarms today. Never did find out what precisely was going on, but we evacuated each time, in a very orderly manner, and waited in a parking lot a few minutes before getting the okay to come back in.

Fortunately, it never interrupted anything very important. The first was during 1st block, 9th grade just going through review problems at the end of the chapter. The second was during 2nd block, modified 6th grade (just two girls this week) doing their individual work. The last was during 4th block, which was my prep period today.

At my old school, that happened a lot one year. They actually determined that it was spiders crawling around in the system setting off the alarm. It got to the point where they said, "If it goes off again, just stay inside. If it's a real fire, we'll let you know."
