Every year we practice a lock down drill at school with the Ada County Sheriff's Department. This always makes me sick to my stomach and the whole day is a mess.
This year, the Sheriff's Department told us to have our kids stand in a designated area instead of hiding in their cubbies.
While we are practicing the new procedures, I shut my curtains, made sure my door was locked, closed the blinds to the outside window and grabbed my district issued T Ball Bat.
While the kids and I were standing in a corner of the room, one little girl started laughing and asked, "Mrs. Kwid, what do you think you are going to do with that T Ball Bat? I, too, started laughing after looking at all five feet and a little over 100 pounds of their teacher! Then we were all laughing at this ridiculous scene!
The laughter really did take the edge off of an ugly drill.
I do know that if a real danger was to occur, I would do anything to protect my kiddos. I may be small, but this girl is strong!
