Firemen answered a call early this morning at Frances Willard Elementary School.
The fire turned out to be very small, coming from the teacher's lounge area. We heard someone say it was a problem with the microwave.
The school was evacuated, but children returned to their classes after being outside only a few minutes.
The fire was reported about 8:10 and firemen were headed back to headquarters by 8:25.

Thank heavens no one was hurt.
Fire coming from the Teacher's Lounge? Microwave incident? Hmmm this smells like a different type of smoke to me. I too am glad that no one was hurt, but I know that several of my teachers must have been smoking 2 packs a day to keep up with us. : )
Conspiracy theories anyone? Some people just love to make everything out of nothing, Twist and spin and turn it to fit into some wicked story that they can go to Ike's a spread like a wildfire in our town....
"Conspiracy theories anyone?"
And some just can't take a joke.
Get a life.
"More information on how Ark City High School was selected for the award should be relayed to the local school district within the next month, Ballard said. A USD 470 school board meeting will be held at the high school at 7 p.m. Nov. 24.
Teachers, administrators and students are expected to attend the meeting and make a presentation on their achievement."
Come on Ballard, be honest. What is the math performance rating of ACHS?
If they would spend more time improving the instruction and less time giving themselves awards, the kids would be smarter for it.
"And some just can't take a joke."
In attending a business class on electronic communications, one point that was highlighted is that humor simply does not translate well through email and the sorts.
Humor really takes facial expression or tone of voice. Recall that most jokes read in a book are compiled in within a designated area (labeled Humor) Readers Digest has topics like "laughter the funniest medicine" for example.
The general tenor of these blogs has been very contetious since almost their inception. So, it is not so readily assumed that one is being humorous with any post.
Many of the unfounded accusations have been laughable. But the posters were not being in any way humorous.
I think people can take a joke. I think it has to be labeled on this media.
You're kidding, right?
No, I don't think so! LOL!
teachers are paid wayyyyyyyyyyy to much
Charles - I read your post about how humor doesn't translate well on email and blogs. How true and a very cogent point. BTW I am now posting as Rick vice Rick + Kathy. Reducing the size of a target makes it a little harder to hit. The cheese stands alone!
"teachers are paid wayyyyyyyyyyy to much"
...and your spelling shows how much you learned...
The second entry, dated November 7 10:28 AM was entirely an attempt at humor. In response to entry 6, electronic communications, I did place the little iconic : ) at the end of the post, meant to signify silliness. All further attempts at humor will either be clearly labeled "HUMOR" or be omitted from the blog. I am smiling while writing this blog, though not in a laugh out loud sense, but rather "huh, what a terribly serious and vicious cyber world we live in...if we can't make fun of our primary school teachers then who can we make fun of" smirk.
If that comment about teachers making too much was meant to be serious, he or she should really rethink that idea. Teachers are a little bit of everything rolled up into one person. They are teacher and a tutor, sometimes a parent, sometimes a counselor, a babysitter, they have to be able to juggle multiple tasks and students a once. Be a mediator. Know when to be serious and to be silly and make snap decisions. How much would you do this for? I don't even know if I could handle this job for a million bucks a year myself! Any teachers on here care to add to the list?
Your response to my comments on the electronic humor dilemma are duly noted. I did not see the squiggly which was intended to identify your initial comment as a joke.
They talked about that in the training session also.
Sorry I misread your joke. Have a great day.
They talked about that in the training session also.
Wow! Actual training for that? And we are stuggling economically...Go figure!! ha ha (HUMOR!!)
oops!! STRUGGLING...so much for my Master's Degree!!
I take it that was your way of saying apology accepted.
LOL...thank goodness the drug dealers are doing well, got to keep the economy turning in AC huh?
Would not want an economic depression to hit too close to home, or a drug bust. That would be terrible. If the drugs go away we would lay off cops....nonono, we must keep pushing the use of illegal drugs, while saying we see no problem.
yada yada yada (please fill in your own banter here)
