True form Amy

I think this picture sums Amy up! Is it me, or is she Lucille Ball reincarnated?

Look! I provide my child food AND shelter. You think she could live in this until she’s 5? Looks cruel but the rooms stay clean, mom’s happier, and everyone is just a little more sane.

Bearden Middle School Bomb Threat – Update February 24, 2006 11:25 am

Since the school was given the all clear, normal classes began at 11am. Any student checked out received an unexcused absence. Words exchanged amongst parents in the office were:

"the school declared this a drill and a normal day,"
"originally they were claiming it would be an excused absence,"
"all parents should call downtown to the administrative offices and complain to get this switched to an excused absence."

Overheard of the students:

"half my team is gone,"
"we aren’t going to do anything but sit around,"
"half the school checked out at the church."

I reiterate: All parents of Bearden Middle School (BMS) students should call downtown, not the school, to protest this day as an unexcused absence. All checkouts should be excused.

The students have been moved to Middlebrook Pike United Methodist Church. (Google Maps marks this wrong. The church is at the intersection of Vanosdale and Middlebrook. My earlier post misquoted the students as being moved across Vanosdale when they were really moved across Francis.
