school

Just three weeks ago, a school in Bellingham was closed due to excellent weather. Something that will never happen on our side of the state. Then again, I didn't think our side of the state would have a snow day in May. That is exactly what happened last night as the town of Bickleton in Klickitas County was hit with up to a foot of snow in some areas!

Imagine getting college credit for studying Metallica and Iron Maiden and playing metal gigs. Sounds like something metalheads might dream up after a long night of partying, but a college in the U.K. is doing just that. Beginning this fall, New College Nottingham will offer a two-year degree in heavy metal, reports the Nottingham Post...

It sounds like something straight from the Onion News Network, but this actually happened today. The principal at Bellingham Christian School decided the weather was too nice to be cooped up inside all day. Instead all 205 students got to enjoy a literal Sun-day on Friday. The school justified today's cancellation with the fact that they had not taken any snow days earlier in the year.

After a successful trial in Prosser, Pasco School District officials recently took a tour on a school bus outfitted to be a WiFi hotspot!

Justin Sanders, a fourth grader at Fort Colville Elementary School in Colville, WA, made teachers aware of a fellow student bringing weapons to school inside of his backpack.

A 14-year-old student at Price Middle School in Atlanta was shot in the head or neck on Thursday afternoon. The student was taken to the hospital; his condition has not been officially released, but reports say that he is alert, conscious and breathing.

It has been one of those days where the wake of a tragedy is felt by everyone. Hardly anyone can relate to what occurred this morning at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, but you can still show your support and empathy for those directly affected.

Even before you take Driver's Ed or get your permit to drive a vehicle, you know to stop for school buses. Mostly because they are covered in flashing lights and a sign that says STOP is sticking out of the side (which you can partially see in the photo). It really is obvious. Apparently this Cleveland woman didn't have time to obey the law or worry about others safety.
