Good Afternoon, At about 1pm today, it was discovered that our kiln was overheating. We turned off the kiln, but smoke set off the fire alarm. We evacuated the school, and everyone is safe. The smoke cleared and and there was no danger present with the power to the device turned off at the breaker. All students have returned to class. Thank you all! Educationally yours, Jean Peavler Superintendent
