Fire!

Well, today had a huge unexpected turn.  A few minutes before 3 p.m. a fire was report on the hill that is right next to the school.  Anna took this video at 2:56 p.m. and decided not to continue her way up the hill for her next class but went away from the fire, and along the way they were told to evacuate to the football field.  At about 3:15 p.m. the kids were getting dismissed and we coordinated a location for Anna to walk to and we went to pick her up.  It was a bit of a mess and not much information but it was nice to have her and be heading home.   

Needless to say the band practice that was scheduled for that evening was cancelled as they were concerned about smoke and the safety of students.  Additionally they were using the school grounds for some staging.  

Edit:  Well, in an interesting twist, on Tuesday night we found out that a 15 year old high school student is being charged with arson!

Edit:  As of Wednesday night the fire is fully contained and burned 124 acres in total.
