Donna Isaac and her students were looking forward to a field trip to Minneapolis to see a theatrical production of some of the stories they were studying in class. But that changed when, on the day of the trip, a parade was scheduled to celebrate the Minnesota Twins’ recent World Series win. School was cancelled so students could attend the parade, but it was too late to cancel the trip.
