I've heard some grizzly stories about Disney taking a small school 
down.  don't think anyone could stretch and call Disney a "left wing, 
liberal, pinko' establishment.

Yesterday we had a morning and an afternoon performance of our 
holiday music concert.  The concert ended around 2:15 and many 
parents wanted to take their darlings home at that point.  The notice 
that went out about the concert said that there was one more hour of 
teaching left and they expected all the children to stay until the 
end of school.  Many parents did sign their kids out anyway.

I have been reading _The Christmas Menorahs; How A Town Fought Hate_ 
to the 3rd and 4th grades and a story about Three Kings Day to the 
younger ones.  We have been fund raising for Heifer International all 
month, so we ended with Heifer word searches and coloring sheets.
