My 8th grader has fairly expressed not knowing what triggered it is its own level of stress wondering and imagining what it could have been. There is a rumor that a kid brought a gun to school, but it is also unconfirmed.

Their only accomplishment is lining someone’s pockets with all that wasted money.

Why is there so little communication coming out of Longfellow?

I think some kids were trying to get away from having to take SOLs or something absurd.

The problem with that at Longfellow is there were no SOLs on Friday.

Anybody know what the outside threat was?
