Reunification Drill

Today, the big boys' school did a disaster reunification drill. They had all students (some 1500 of them) be signed out individually. Parents had to show photo ID on pick up, there were medical vehicles with lights flashing, and police officers were on hand. It was the whole shebang. Isaac went to pick the boys up from school early to avoid the inevitable madhouse that would ensue. Jason had forgotten that the drill was going to happen and that his dad was picking him up early. He saw the lights and all of the police officers around and panicked until Isaac was able to calm him down. I wish those with decision making power would step back and see how this event was a bit much and had the potential to scare kids needlessly. :(
