About five minutes before school began, the electricity went out.
It remained so all day.
The directors did not call school off.
They seemed shocked that we would suggest that school be cancelled.
But, it was okay.
In fact, no parent from our class took their child home.
We opened up our glass door,
which is covered with tint,
and let the sunshine in.
I think the kids thought it was fun.
One girl who brought a wand for sharing asked that we turn the lights out.
"Um, they are already off."
"Could you make it darker?" she asked.
I shut the door and she turned the wand on.
I think it was a pretty memorable day.
The day we had school in the dark.
