DeLaSalle Conducts Tornado Drill On Thursday, April 16, as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, DeLaSalle conducted a tornado drill. Each teacher led students out of their classroom and to the lowest corridor of the building they were in. Students sat on the floor away from glass windows or display cases, with their heads tucked down, awaiting further instructions. Tornado drills, like the one this week, give the DeLaSalle community an opportunity to prepare should we face an actual emergency. You can read DeLaSalle’s protocol in responding to fires and tornadoes on page 26 of the Student-Parent Handbook.
