No School

By Anonymous (not verified), 16 March, 2026
No School It snowed a lot yesterday, but we still had school. The kids had to wait at the bus stop for a long time. It was cold and we got wet. I think school should have been called off for the day. Probably some of the kids will get colds or the flu. The next time there is a lot of snow, school should be closed. Even if we have to make up a day sometime, it is better than getting sick.
