Rain Day?

We are in the middle of Spirit Week at Leone High School. Today's fun activity was class football games. During lunch break classes played each other to find out who had the toughest flag football playing kids. The juniors were knocked out by the freshmen in the first round so I can't say for sure who won.

Anyway, it started to POUR at the end of lunch. Since a lot of kids were out on the grass playing or watching football many of the kids were getting soaked. But of course they didn't move. Then the power went out. Which isn't too abnormal as it goes out enough for it not to be a big deal here. But then there was talk of canceling the rest of the day and letting kids go home.

Nope. The end of lunch bell rang and we were all set back to class. Well, then 5-7 minutes later the bell rang again, so ALL the kids and most of the teachers assumed that school was canceled and everyone could go home. Really. School gets canceled because of rain!?! Is this American Samoa's version of a Snow or Hurricane day?!!?

Of course, I could not be so lucky, as 5 minutes later all the kids returned to my class saying that the second bell was just a tardy bell and that classes were continuing.

So, I decided to give my kids a vocab quiz. I know, I'm so mean.

In the end, school was let out 15 minutes early. Why? Because it was raining again.
