I was just informed by my brother that his principal at the high-school announced over the intercom this afternoon that, due to the forcasted rise in gas prices next week, school would be cancelled for next Monday and Tuesday. This announcement came down from Governor Perdue himself earlier this afternoon.
The students of course rejoiced at the thought of a four-day weekend, for whatever reason. Back when I was that age and in high-school, I would have as well.
I just implore that the students remember the cause for those extra days off.
The hurricanes.
The people driven from house and home.
The people whose lives will ultimately be lost to this weather-based tragedy.
And the economic strain this country will feel in the immediate months to come, and the reprecussions that will still be felt years down the road.
