Gulliver's Travels 
Bravo and thank you to all who supported our students in the school play this past weekend.
  Special thanks to Joe McIalwain, Lisa Brungardt and Pat Lunde for coordinating and to all the volunteers!
Earthquake Drill
Today we had an all-school earthquake drill. Students practiced Drop, Cover, and Hold. When the "earthquake" was over,  the classes proceeded outside on the field. Staff practiced next steps which included disbursing to first aid, the disaster shed, and doing a building sweep.
At St. Matthew, we usually do an all-school emergency drill about once a month. We practice fire, lockdown, and earthquake drills throughout the year.    

If you have any questions about our emergency drills, please check the Family Handbook or contact the school office.
