☕🔥 Hot Chocolate Fire Drill 🔥☕
Learning doesn’t stop for a fire drill. Today’s Hot Chocolate Fire Drill was planned and led by Student Council, turning a routine safety drill into a real-world leadership experience.
Students enjoyed hot chocolate outside in the sunshine while practicing safety — a great example of learning in action. #PioneerCTC #StudentCouncil #LeadershipInAction
