From Uskudar SEV Elementary School….

With the opening of the new school year, our students were informed about earthquakes and how to act safely during an earthquake.  Our students discussed this topic with their classroom teachers and watched a presentation about earthquakes.  On Wednesday, September 28th, 2016 at 8:50am, the first earthquake drill of the year was executed.  After the siren simulating an earthquake ended, the entire SEV elementary student body, faculty and staff exited the building as quietly and quickly as possible.  At the safety meeting area attendance was taken by each teacher who had a class during the drill.  Throughout the rest of the school year, students will continue their education about earthquakes and periodically have other earthquake drills to practice how to safely evacuate the building.
