Pay Your Bills Mr. Principal!

Yesterday we had a power outage that lasted almost an hour.  It happened right in the middle of lunch and of course the kids were all acting a little wild. I had just dismissed my 2nd grade class to lunch, so I went to stand out in the halls since my library has no outside windows and it is completely dark in there without lights on.  Kindergarten was walking back in from recess and one of the boys at the end of the line turned around and told me "Mr. Principal must have forgotten to pay the bill, that's why we ain't got no lights on."
