The cubs' school burnt down last night. (Thanks, Penny, for ringing me with the news this morning.) Bit of a shock - heh, bit of an understatement. There's only 2 rooms left, the art room and admin, everything else is gutted, or in the case of the wing that contained the cubs' room and the library, just... gone.
There was a meeting in the Community hall next door this morning - classes will be held there for a couple of weeks until the portable classrooms are delivered, and eventually the school will be rebuilt. Going to be a long time, though there's a lot of support for us in the community and with local businesses.
Not sure how the fire started yet - the family who lives across the road from the school heard an explosion around midnight - but it's being treated as 'suspicious'.
Eh well, guess we'll find out soon enough. Needless to say, the cubs are home today, and it's a long weekend (Labour Day) so no classes until Tuesday.

On a brighter note...
<HUGS> Congrats, Joules! FirstLight's finished! Dead impressed... : )
