For Our Kids' Sake!
"Due to the continued safety concerns for our students resulting from the damage caused by the recent storm, the Westport Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday March 17th." Three days in a row?
The news that all the parents had been dreading came at 4:23 this afternoon. It was received simultaneously by quiet moans from the parents and high pitched screams by the kids.
The roads seem pretty clear, the sun has been shinning all day. Was this really necessary?
My first instinct was to hit reply on my blackberry and write "Due to concerns for the sanity of the parents who have managed through the recent storm and its side effects, please open the schools! We'll all be safer!"
But I'm still a newbie so being that vocal probably wouldn't be a good idea. Instead I gladly accepted my neighbor's offer to commiserate over a glass of wine while the sun set on day 2 of this very long week!
