They actually cancelled school this afternoon. I cannot recall any other time in my history of living in Saskatchewan that I was present for schools being closed. Hell has frozen over my friends. Seriously, all them little demons are wearing ice skates today.
Of course, it needed to be done as awkwardly as possible. So the school board waited until everything in the city shut down first - universities, SIAST, the buses. Really, I'm pretty sure that's the only reason we got to go home at all - if we didn't send the kids home right then, we would have been stuck with them til tomorrow. While superintendants may be crazy, they do have a vague idea that that would be a bad scene. On the plus side, my neighbour and I already had a plan hatched out so that we would get the cookies from the cafeteria before anyone else even knew what was going on.
Interested in knowing what it looks like here? I'm too lazy to post my own stuff, so go check out Jeff's blog.

They once closed Qu'appelle Valley Schools when I taught in Balgonie. That morning I drove Brenda to the good ole U of R, because all 3rd year students were going on OCRE. Talk about stupid.
