The fire on Oct. 31 was little more than a false alarm.
“It was simply a system malfunction,” assistant principal Tom Moss said. “But a wonderful opportunity to test our fire drill procedures, I think we did pretty well.”
Students exited the building during fifth hour when the fire alarm sounded, and after two minutes the building was completely evacuated. After firemen gave the okay, students returned to lunch and classes.

The robotics team worked on their robot, Fred, to prepare for the FRC Worlds competition. “I was working with the bumpers on our robot that protect [the] frame [for] when we hit or bump into something,” Neaderhiseri said. “We have put a lot of work into building and coding the robot and have run into many difficulties but we have overcome every issue.” photo by Jack Pischke](https://smnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/JPischkeRoboticsteam-7-1-1200x795.jpg)
