 The Orchard Fire and Rescues, along with Orchard Public School, will be conducting a test of the severe weather warning system in Orchard Thursday at 10 a.m.
The whistle will sound as if a tornado had been spotted. This is a good time for businesses, along with residents, to be sure their emergency plans are complete. These plans should include a best area to take cover, a small portable radio, a flashlight with good batteries, food and water and to check on elderly and disabled neighbors if they need assistance. The signal for a a tornado or threatening weather id a steady three minute blast. After the test, the all clear signal of the same steady tine will sound for a minute. The test will take approximately 10-20 minutes. The test will not be done if threatening weather is in the area.  3rd Quarter Principal’s Honor Roll includes 7th grader Aubrey Jackson; 8th graders Hadley Cheatum, Levi Cronk, Gunnar Shabram and Trevor Thomson; 9th grader Madison Melcher; 10th graders Avery Cheatum and Kaci Wickersham; 11th grader Chance Boelter; and 12th graders Blake Hoke, Erin Schwager, Julian Tuttle and Ryan Wilhelm.  3rd Quarter Honor Roll includes 7th graders Ashley Melcher and Amor Zermeno; 8th grader Savanna Ferris; 9th graders Mason Hoke and Lizett Marino; 10th graders Taelyn Switzer and Larissa Thomson; 11th graders Gage Clifton and Houston Marino; and 12th graders Jaccob Bennett, JoCee Johnston, Anthony Marino, Holly Schacht and Nalleli Zermeno.
