I remember it clear as a bell. I was in First grade. The phone rings, the teacher has a shocked look, goes outside in the hall , comes back in and was crying. She told us then. The school was small (~150 kids). They put the one TV they had (it was wheeled from room to room if they wanted to show us something on Channel 17 (before tape). They put it in our Gymacafatorium and we watched the news until they could get the busses to the school and send us home early. I remember watching the funeral and then watching live when Ruby shot Oswald (I think it was Sunday morning). My father shouted "Holy sh--!!!!!"
