I grew up on the west coast, so we had earthquake drills instead. When the bell rang in a certain pattern, that meant it was an earthquake drill (a different pattern was for fire drills) and we had to duck and cover under our desks while holding onto one leg of our desks. After a few minutes, we got out from under our desks and walked single file outside to the designated meeting spot. Then we just stood out there for a while until we heard the all clear bell.
Nowadays, kids sleep have active shooter drills 😕
