Springfield, MO—Jude Kimmers, a sophomore at Hillcrest High School totally missed the “s” section of the school closing screen crawl on the local news this morning. According to his sister, Jamie, Kimmers had been watching the morning news in hopes that Springfield Public Schools would close due to icy road conditions.
“Jude was glued to the set, like, waiting forever to see if classes were cancelled. I told him to just get ready like I was, in case school wasn’t cancelled. He just sat in his room and stared at the screen when he should have been getting dressed,” said Jamie Kimmers.
Jude Kimmers apparently was distracted by his sister’s comments and was unable to confirm if SPS had indeed cancelled classes for the day. “She totally came in and I missed it! Do you know how slow that little thing goes on the news? It takes forever and if you miss your school then you have to wait for it to come back around again!” whined Jude.
Jamie said she had been looking at the school closing online, without her brother’s knowledge and purposefully went to his room to distract him. “I guess I did it just right as Skyline appeared, then he like looked at me, then back at the screen when Success and Summersville were going by…perfect timing!” laughed Jamie.
