An unusual visitor to my school
I thought I'd post this because it was so unusual.
There have been mice in my school before, although I've only seen them outside at my school. Today after school I was waiting for someone to take home. While I was standing there, I saw something fly around. I've seen birds in buildings before, but it's not a common sight, so I thought it was pretty funny. But I soon realized it was not a bird. It was a bat! I don't know how it got in, or what happened to it, but there it was, flying around, accompanied by the laughter and shock of students. I've never seen bats around here before, so seeing one in the daytime in a building was quite surprising. Our ventilation system consists of removable tiles in the ceiling, so the person I had to take home wondered if it was living in the ceiling. We know there are mice up there.
I'd like to know what they find out about it...

I hate bats! Sounds like you have a lovely school.
Yikes. I don't think I would be able to focus on anything if I was always worried about bats and mice. They are not my favorite creatures. Don't bats carry rabies?
Someone who is involved with the stage crew for all the assemblies and such says he saw bats flying around near the ceiling above the auditorium. I think he meant by all the lights and other things.
At my school, near the ceiling in one place, is a place with a light in it:

(Ignore the apostrophes; they're only there to make the picture coherent)
Three people said they saw it fly into there, and two expressed concern that it would cook in there, since none of the three saw it come out. So we may have a dead bat in our lights!
Oooh. Yuck. Probably no one will check, will they?
It would have been so much cooler a few weeks later. Showing up right before halloween would have been perfect
