On Thursday, October 15, at 8:30 AM, our Cardenas Wolves will take part in the Great ShakeOut, the World’s Largest Earthquake Drill! Students and staff will practice the important steps to stay safe during an earthquake:
1️⃣ DROP to the ground.
2️⃣ COVER under a sturdy desk or table.
3️⃣ HOLD ON until the shaking stops.
Earthquakes can happen at any time, so practicing today helps us be prepared tomorrow. Together, we are building a safer and more prepared school community!
