    But seven children were killed when the tornado destroyed Plaza Towers Elementary School.

    Susan Pierce is superintendent of Moore public schools. She said many lives were saved because every school followed    (9)    .

    “Our administrators, staff, teachers and students put our crisis plan into action immediately. We monitored the weather throughout the day and when it was time to shelter, we did just that.”
