January 8, 2010

District officials will continue to monitor weather conditions next week regarding outdoor events to determine if further cancellations are warranted, according to Linda English, district spokesperson.

HOW SILLY SANDY!
Teachers don’t make the call. The superintendent and school board does.
I hope you are still in school your spelling needs a little work. SMILES
Just catching the bus is cold enough early in the morning. That wind is ssoooooo cold. I am thankful someone is trying to look out for my children.
I agree a good many of our children are a little spoiled but not all are. As you ride the local roads at night play a little game of “Count how many Houses you would rather live in and how many need help” I just believe more blessing will show up. Remember to pray for those who do need help. Are do an act of Kindness.
probley the teachers dont want to get out in the cold but thay will get out to go shopping
The way I see it, you make it so kids cant go outside and experience the unseasonably cool weather…
However, Id bet money that Tomorrow morning (Saturday) these same kids will be outside playing…and the older kids will somehow manage to brave the actic blast to walk from a car to the entrance to the mall.
up north, adults get up early and shovel the snow so their kids can go stand at the curb and wait for the bus. At recess, practices…you cope with the snow.
Life doesnt just stop because it gets cold. Throw on a coat, a stocking hat…maybe a pair of gloves if you have “soft hands”…and do what you got to do.
Up north, they dont cancel crap because it gets hot and humid.
can we close down the fire fighters, police officers, ambulance drivers, newspaper delivery peoples, too? they work outside too
i work overnite in the cold, the rain, the heat, the hurricanes……it isn’t fun but ya got to do what ya got to do!!!…..i agree kids are too soft now days, why dont we just make more juvenile centre’s and stop schooling and close down the movie houses and malls too oh yea and starbuck coffee too !!! it will save tax payers money and county and state money too!!! and we adults will work to support the lazy kids of this generation…..NOT!!!!!!! i went to school in blizzard conditions in the midwest (nebraska) got my butt tore up if i was disrespectful, had to work for what i wanted nothing wasnt handed to me except at christmas …..i couldnt agree more frosty
eh…In real life, adults dont get the option to be in or out of the cold….sometimes you’ve got to suck it up, grit your teeth and cope. It may not be fun, and you may not be comfortable. But COLD HAPPENS.
Kids today are going to be too soft when they grow up…
That is wonderful, I just couldn’t imagine our children out in this cold weather at P.E. Thanks for cancelling all outdoor activities.
