GA vs. Sandy: Post Hurricane PatChatting


Sandy coming in (haha too soon?)



Beach damage L


As everyone knows, about 2 weeks ago, Hurricane Sandy swept right through the East Coast, leaving the shore, the entire boardwalk, PECO, and school attendance in the dust! We had off from Monday to Wednesday, and not going to lie…even without power at home, I didn’t want to have school on Thursday either.
With Mr. Connor and Mr. Schellhas both safe from the storm in China, Mr. Samson and Mr. Hill were left in charge of logistics. Power came back late Wednesday night, and they decided that everyone come back to school on Thursday. And despite my original reluctance to return to school, it turned out to be pretty helpful. None of the teachers were allowed to have us hand in assignments or take quizzes or tests (Hallelujah!), but everyone, with power or without, teachers and students alike, was updated. Within a few days, everyone was back on track with schoolwork and practices.

Long story short, I was pleasantly surprised at how well GA handled the consequences of Sandy.

Until next time, Nancy J
