Hickory Creek rooms flood for second year
Hickory Creek damage
Hickory Creek teacher Slayden Rogers removes a desk from a first-grade classroom after it suffered heavy water damage Thursday.
School officials probably didn’t intend Hickory Creek Elementary to resemble an actual waterway.But for the second January in a row, sprinkler system pipes have burst at Hickory Creek and flooded the classrooms of first-grade teachers Marianne Elliott and Toree Craven. Since the sprinkler pipes are located above the drop ceiling, water damage can be extensive. “It’s hard to believe I have to go through this again,” said Craven while surveying her soggy room Thursday morning.
