🚨Today, Officer Beck joined us in the elementary building to help students practice our lockdown drill. Before the drill, each class read a story and reviewed all of our safety procedures so that everyone knew exactly what to do. We’re so thankful for Officer Beck and the Cavalier County Sheriff's Department's support and for our students’ attention and cooperation in keeping our school safe! ❤️
