Conference Reminder

A Tale of a Not-So-Typical Tuesday

The day started with an unexpected visitor to New Underwood School.

As Mrs. Sether and Mrs. Martinmaas arrived this morning, they noticed a strange rustling coming from a nearby trash can. Thinking it was probably an unsuspecting cat—or perhaps a raccoon—they cautiously approached and lifted the lid. They immediately realized this was neither a cat nor a raccoon. Trembling, but ever so gingerly, they replaced the lid, backed away, and called the office.

Inside the receptacle was a skunk.

No one knew how long our robust woodland visitor had been trapped, but one thing was certain: he couldn't stay there.

A team was quickly assembled. Local experts in the field of wild animal removal were consulted. Foot traffic was diverted. Staff were asked to keep windows closed. Classes were settled in for the day. We prepared for the possibility that our furry guest might decide to deploy his essence.

Deputy Rhoden stood by, armed…with some knowledge of how to handle wild animals.

Mr. Quigley was ready with a blanket to help cover the opening.

Mrs. Brassfield and Mrs. Albers watched from a safe distance—with cameras ready and an escape route firmly in mind.

And then there was Mr. Tussing. Bravely approaching the receptacle with a rope, he carefully secured it around the top of the trash can, backed away to a safe distance, and pulled.

THUD. The trash can tipped onto its side.

Silence.

No movement.

Mr. Quigley cautiously approached and opened the lid to give our captive friend a wider path to freedom.

Seconds passed.

Mr. Tussing and the skunk stared at one another, each apparently waiting to see what the other would do next.

Reluctantly, the skunk emerged. He paused, looked around, and then darted south to continue his day.

No trace of his capture.

No pause to say goodbye.

No lingering emission.

Just a skunk with places to go and absolutely no interest (thankfully) in sticking around for school!
