Springfield Public Schools To Hold Classes Monday
SPRINGFIELD (CBS) - The towns blasted by Wednesday's tornadoes are still picking through the ruins and cleaning up, but in Springfield, children will resume a part of their normal routine on Monday.
The public school superintendent said students will have classes tomorrow.
However, two buildings, the Dryden and Brookings schools, cannot be used, so those students will relocate.

"The whole roof got ripped off, and the forest that I used to walk my dog with my brother in is completely gone. No trees living," said Ben, a 10-year-old who normally attends the Dryden Elementary School, which is now closed for the rest of the year.
The superintendent says they will have counselors on hand at both schools to help kids cope with the traumatic experience of the tornado.
