Thank God she had the skills to keep the bus on the road. It could've been disastrous. And to think the only reason we had school was to get another day of preparing for testing in April.

A head-on accident (because of slick roads) and another car tried to stop and slid off the road into an old quarry pond. So sad. It's not worth it to try and have our kids out on the roads!

Remember they are thinking of more than 500 individuals and not just a few. The bus drivers have a HUGE responsibility.<br /><br />Can a snow day be a hardship for parents for daycare?

In town, we don't always realize how bad it is out on the gravel roads and such, so people sometimes complain about why they called school off again. I think I would much rather be safe than sorry. So glad everyone was ok!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039525197728859500noreply@blogger.com
