One of our amazing ECC students brought some members of her family to visit her classroom. The visitors are from Germany and are visiting for the holidays. She was so proud to introduce them. We even learned some German words.
ECC students and staff at our Perry Lane location practiced an ALICE drill today in conjunction with the Agawam Police Department and John Nettis, Agawam Safety Officer. Classrooms practiced a lock down/soft barricade. The purpose of the drill is to empower both students and staff by providing options for what they could do in an emergency situation. Students then had the opportunity to talk with safety personnel.
