I just got off the phone with L’s Kindergarten teacher. She called to inform us that there had been a fire at L’s school this afternoon and that there would be no school tomorrow and, perhaps, also not on Friday. This was news to us! L has been battling a cold and he had a particularly restless night, so he didn’t go to school today. And apparently, we don’t keep on top of the news very much—the story is here—or else we would have heard about it in that way. I guess we live in a bit of a bubble.
Pam and I commented on how many fire drills we had been a part of in the years we were in school and never (thankfully) had to do it for real. L has been in school a mere month—he probably doesn’t even know what a fire drill is—and, had be been in school, he would have been fleeing a real fire.
Thankfully L was not in school today.
You know, I saw the article yesterday, but never connected the dots that this was L’s school. A little too close for comfort *shudder*. Can’t believe there was another school fire today!
