Just trying to work out how to prepare myself/the children either way on this one. I know you're not 'my' parents but you're a good representative sample of parents to ask, I think.
I have a school production tomorrow evening. It's an evening of class plays so every child has a 'proper' speaking part (no chorus). The children have been rehearsing in our drama lessons all term and this is their assessment performance. Most of them have learned their lines and worked hard. It can't be rescheduled because this is our last week of term and every evening has a full programme of events on. So it's either go ahead or cancel completely.
I'm in the Midlands/South East area so probably had some of the worst of the snow but it hasn't snowed since about 5pm (might be some more overnight). It's been melting off the trees but still lying heavily on the ground and due to be very cold tomorrow.
I emailed parents this afternoon to say I'll make a decision at lunchtime tomorrow. But I'm wondering if the decision will be taken out of my hands by the parents anyway. Would you let your child stay after school/come and watch them tomorrow for this reason or would you take them home before freezing? We have some boarders and a handful of very local children but most live 10 - 50 minutes drive away.
I've done the stage set up and got all the props and costumes ready today anyway because, if I didn't, I could guarantee it would rain all night and there'd be no snow tomorrow at all and I wouldn't be ready. But I have a horrible feeling I've wasted my time today and the children's time all term!
