Q: How do you feel about the conduction of drills at Lindbergh?

Elliot Mikesch (10)

A: “ I definitely think there’s a need for more intruder drills. Just the day and age right now, we just need more of them to prevent things that would happen or could happen at Lindbergh.”

Vivian Le (10)

A: “ I feel like especially for the tornado drill, no one knew what they were doing. I was in the new 300’s and everyone went to the black box, but there was no space left so we had to continue going. The stairs we went through also had multiple windows, that’s really unsafe. I feel like we have a good amount of drills though, because we’ve been doing these since kindergarten so realistically we know what we’re doing but it’s a different environment every year.”

Q: What do you think about national events regarding student safety? How do you think that affects students here at Lindbergh?

Elliot Mikesch (10)

A: “I think a lot of students today are afraid to come to school– there’s definitely a level of fear. I know me personally, I was fearful some days and I know a lot of my peers are too.”

Vivian Le (10)

A: “I feel like especially with school shootings and things like that, it makes people a lot more worried and scared, especially with how last year there was a school shooting in the St. Louis area.”
