Bremen High School teacher Jessica Labbe knew there was severe weather in the forecast. A line of powerful thunderstorms was about to hit Haralton County, Georgia.
Just after lunch, the tornado sirens began blaring across town. And inside her classroom, cell phones beeped and buzzed – warning students of dangerous weather.
Tornado Warning.
Teachers ushered their students into a hallway so they could be sheltered from the storm.

Ooops, I read that as *it was*.
Is that supposed to be a question?
I didn’t find anything that indicated that it was a private, Catholic, or Christian school.
Seems to be a public school as far as I can tell from a google search.
Sorry. See previous post.
Cold War youngster in the panhandle of Texas .... our tune, tornado or atomic bomb was about “Bert the Turtle”
Duck and Cover !!
Have you ever watched comedian Lewis Black ?
He had a relevant diatribe on his memories of hiding under a wood desk, in order to practice surviving a nuclear FIREBALL.

Now THAT’S funny.:-)

What about the REST of the song?
Glory, glory hallelujah teacher hit me with a ruler.
Hit her in the bean with a rotten tangerine and she didn't bother me anymore. ;o)

Very funny-—and the kids in the old days thought singing that was VERY daring.
Simpler,more innocent times.

Here’s a direct link to the video. I couldn’t find it on the fox site.

I wasn’t really expecting “Baby Got Back,” but still some kind of pop or traditional song.
The way we sang the 2nd verse was ‘met her at the door with a loaded .44 and she ain’t my teacher no more’.
Would be arrested and expelled for that today.
THAT sounds more like modern day kids.
Simply beautiful........to see our young people go to our source when times are grim.
Gives me great hope.......and confirms that the only real work we have before us is to equip our young people to face a future and a world that many of us have never had to face.
Nothing else matters, except to equip our young people to the best of our ability.
As for me, I just wanna keep sticking with Jesus.
I would love to know the impact that had on the school since then.
I love the lyrics of that song...
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo
The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your Baby Boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you’re holding is the great “I am”
I lived in Winthrop in those days. I don’t remember having air raid drills while in school.
But we had them at night, and after we turned all our lights off, the family went outside to hear the sirens, and to watch the searchlights explore the sky. It was fascinating. And except for the searchlights, everything was so dark. We could look across a broad marsh at East Boston, and the dark there seemed so strange.
“And except for the searchlights, everything was so dark.”
Yes,they were scary times. It must have been weird looking over at a dark East Boston.
We had an air raid warden(a neighbor) who would walk up and down the street making sure no light showed at all.
For the school air raids we all had to make black oil cloth(remember that?)cushions that we would all sit on when we were down the basement.
We also had an ID tag hanging on a chain around our necks.
This was in Boston Public Schools. It was very organized.
.
This sure brings back memories.....
My family once sat out a tornado in a big culvert and did the same thing.
One song I remember was “Shelter in the Time of Storm”.
And my granddaughter told how once she and her dad were living in a one-room cabin and sang during a bad windstorm when trees were breaking all around them..
We used to pretend to get under our desks because there wasn't much room down there....
"The sun will come out: Tomorrow...
When I was a kid we used to sing during the terrifying air raid drills.

They had air planes back then???
