On Tuesday, St. George’s practiced the first of many fire drills using a new procedure in hopes of speeding up the fire drill process. Advisory groups paired and formed two long lines of students.

Each grade was organized in their own line stretching from the sidewalk to the middle of the field. The oldest grades were positioned closest to the upper school carpool, and subsequent grades followed, wrapping around the plaza.

There was initially no obvious organization as to where advisory groups were supposed to stand, and at first the students appeared to be in just as much chaos as before. But compared to past performances, the drill was completed in significantly less time.
