A humorous story is building here on the Homefront. 

It is terrible that schools were destroyed in all the storms. One local school that my FSIL attends will not be safe for students to return to for quite sometime.  Since this is the case they will be modifying the curriculum and sharing a nearby school's facilities. One school will use the facilities from 7:30-12:00 and the other will be there from 1:00-5:30. Sounds like a reasonable plan to most people.

BUT.

These two schools are die-hard rivals. 
My mother graduated from one of these schools over 30 years ago.
She STILL points out which people are from "PLAINVIEW"

Scotty and I are totally scandalous

I was a Sylvania Ram, He was a Plainview Bear
FSIL Em will be a Bram. 

A Plainvania Bram

It makes me giggle like a littlle school girl, not even going to lie. 

I still have pride in my school, its a large part of who I am. 

the rivalry was a huge part of our communities 

its a fun rivalry, it does get intense with anything competitive

Seeing the looks on E's face when I gave her the news was PRICELESS.

They still do not have power so I got to deliver the news. 

It was like Christmas to me :)
I even pulled out some old Green Sylvania shirts for her to wear.
