A Day without Water

This week students reported to school for three days because of the winter break. The night before school, an announcement was sent out to teachers and students via phone stating there is no water and to bring your own bottled water. I know what you are thinking, yes it was a nightmare on elms street Wednesday morning. After the first bell rung, the administrator reminded everyone not to drink the water,wash hands or flush toilets but they can use the toilets. So of course many of us had a difficult time keeping everyone under control including teachers. I'm sure you can image what kind of day it was. Finally, after 4 hours the school decided to dismissed the students at 12:00 pm and teacher at 2:00pm. Guest what! The next day everyone reported back to school hoping for the best but we couldn't drink or wash our hands; however we could flush the toilets. I'm thinking not again and so were the students. Amazingly we all survive through the whole day. Most of the students went home early. Lets just say this is a lesson learned. We forget how vital water is as a basic necessity. When your environment change you must adapt.
