No School Until at least May 11th!!!!

What?? Yes, no school for us until May the 11th, thanks to the swine flu that is popping up in our area. Uggggg!!!! My school district decided last night to shut down, along with two neighboring school districts to quarantine the schools. We had 33 kids out on Monday and then 22 out yesterday (not all for the flu, it was either other things, their parents were scared or they were having flu-like symptoms). They are recommending that people don't go out where they will be around 20 or more people. Fun stuff (not really)! Now, we are just waiting to hear if we will have to make up all of these lovely days...so sad that it is SO close to the end of the school year. I'd honestly much rather be teaching the next nine days...as long as there wasn't any illness going around because I really don't want to get sick either! I suppose my house will be sparkling clean by May 11th!!!
