...I was leaving an observation when I saw my mentor principal heading down the sidewalk. He saw me and asked if I wanted to join him. There had been a call to the office to come help in the CTE (computers) room. I was saying, "Sure," as Mr. Powers continued with the story. There was a SNAKE that slithered under the door and into the classroom.
WHAT???? That's not my job. But, oh yes it is. So, me, Jeni Wiley, scared of anything that doesn't have a neck, proceeded to the room to "catch" the snake. Let's also mention I had on open-toe, open-back heels.
So, all the kids and the teacher were waiting for us, snake slayers, to find the creature and dispose of properly! I followed Mr. Powers into the room paying attention to corners, nooks, my toes... After a few glimpses of the HUGE room (once an auto mechanic classroom), we realized that snake could be anywhere. Being a computer room, there were cords EVERYWHERE and that played tricks on my mind. Every cord, every crack against the wall was "IT." And, I didn't want "IT."
Needless to say, the snake is still on the loose. An APB has been put out for a 1-2 foot snake with beady eyes and scaly skin. Reward offered if brought in dead. ;)
