Extreme Flood At My School June 7, 2008

Filed under: School — Emily @ 2:43 pm

My school had a flood this past week. Tuesday morning as my dad was dropping my sister off for school, (then brings me and then he goes to work) my mom called and said that I have no school. I was wondering what in the world would make school canceled. When I got home my mom said that the school was flooded so they couldn’t have school. Then, later that day I found out that there will be no school tomorrow either. I was very excited that I would not have to do any work for another day but I like going to school and seeing my friends. The two days that I stayed home was very boring. I played with my little sister and watched T.V. pretty much the whole day.
When I went back to school on Thursday I found out all about the flooding. What happened was a pipe in the art room which is on the first floor, broke and tons of water came out of the pipe. The whole art room became flooded. Since there was so much water. the water went through the floor of the art room and into three classrooms below. The water also spread througholut the first floor. Then the cielings of those rooms broke. With all the water going throught the cielings the water destroyed some of the walls too. So, Thursday and Friday one half of the building was all destroyed and no one could use the rooms. The half of the building that was destroyed had 7 classrooms and some offices. Thursday and Friday had a lot of chaos. Some classes had to be in the hallways and all of our classes were in different rooms then they usally were. It was two very confusing days. With all of this happening, at the same time the school is trying to sell the building. I really want them to sell the building becaue the new building that they are buying is amazing and so much nicer then the building that we have now.
Our whole school is very thankful that no one was hurt during all of this happening. The pipe could have broken during school hours and then hurt kids in the room that the cielings broke in. I am so happy that no one was hurt.
