Fires, Farmers, and Fairy Tales, oh my!

Last weekend was packed with adventure.  It all started on Thursday before lunch when the fire alarm sent all of us outside into the midday sun.  A pretty serious electrical fire had started in the main building.  After many rounds of the quiet game, lost and found distribution, then ninja tag - thank you MPC youth group and JI kids - they declared the building unsafe and school cancelled for the rest of the day.  However, students were not allowed in the building; we spent our afternoon taking orders for textbooks and then lugging backpacks and lunches and gym bags down three flights of stairs.  Everyone had fantastic attitudes about the inconvenience, we are grateful no one was hurt, and the students were of course elated by their spontaneous freedom.
