This is very similar to my experience. Friday afternoon-we were just about to start art class when Mother Superior came over the PA system to tell us that a parent had called to the school to say JFK had been shot. 3rd grade nun turned on the classroom TV and had us kneel on the floor to pray and watch the news. I was really bummed we weren’t going to have art that day.The second announcement from Mother Superior was simply “The president has died. Please go home.” When I got home, my mother was ironing and watching TV. I think the TV stayed on the entire weekend.
