Much surprize when my son called at 1pm to say he was home from Ballston Spa HS... Only problem is, they held them for 3 hours with no power and then sent them home without lunch!

PEANUT BUTTER WITH ALL THE ALERGIES? YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING! WE HAVE A GREAT SCHOOL, I AM SURE THEY ADDRESSED THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS. GOOD GRIEF, LUNCH AFTER 1PM WHAT A CRIME!

FYI, I just checked with my 6th grader and he was given lunch. He pointed out that everything in the kitchens run on electricity, which includes the lights to see what you are doing.

Disasters, Hurricanes, Ice Storms, Wind Storms. We’ve all seen the after-effects, entire communities without power. It’s reported that on average 3.5 million people lose their power in the US each week! We bought a generator from MainPowerConnect.com that now ensures our family has the power needed when faced with unexpected outages. With Standby Power, our home and business now stays warm, secure systems stays armed and well lighted. With our generator the sump pumps keep running protecting us against flooding and keeping our food cold and fresh.
