The water got so high that teachers had to carry the little kids from their classrooms to a safer place.
Even the bathrooms filled up, so the kids had to use the boys' school.
The parents were worried because their kids couldn't go to school, and they had to stay home from work.
The school floods every year because the drains don't work well.
