Sarah Yoder, 19, teacher. One room, 15 children (ages 6-14). 2 PM. Snow. Heavy snow. Very heavy snow.
By 2:30 — road invisible. No phone. Buggies won't come (parents don't know about the blizzard). Decision: stay at school. Stove. Firewood (enough for the night). Food: 15 lunch boxes (apples, bread, cheese — enough). Water: bucket of snow on stove.
Children scared? No. Adventure. Older ones (12-14) helped: carried wood, watched little ones. Younger: played hide-and-seek (in one room — creative). Sarah told stories (biblical, then her own — 'how grandma made soap and it exploded').
Morning. Snow stopped. 5 buggies by 7 AM. 15 fathers. Silent. Took children. Last one (Jacob Miller) turned to Sarah: 'Thank you.' One word. Enough.
