I have a terrible memory, but I remember details of this day so vividly. It was my second day of teaching music at an elementary school. Thankfully I was still team-teaching w/ the teacher who was leaving. We found out in the middle of our 3rd grade class; when the teacher came to get them, she whispered it to us and then the principal got on the intercom and told teachers to not turn their TVs on for any reason. Our kindergarten class was coming next and I could not even think straight. Right after that class was our lunch break. We quickly got our lunches then went into the computer lab with the other special area teachers (PE, computer, art, guidance, etc.) and watched the coverage and prayed together. It was such a blessing to work with people that would sit there and pray about it as we watched it unfold.
