Good morning, second students! Today is Friday, calm day in Wildcat country, and these are your morning announcements.

Describe it. It's like magical, like the Grammys. Words I get butterflies in my stomach. So, fashion show, a competition—it's stressful! I'm excited; I'm just ready to get it over with. Problems in Flint are a very special thing. I have a black sparkly green and gold ball gown. It's real cute, elegant. She picked out a yellow shirt and a yellow and black bowtie.

Monday, we like close friends. He actually came in the classroom with the pizza box. I know this may be cheesy, but will you be my prom date? Originally, I was hungover two girls, but that didn't work out. This prom is coming up. It's really special because it's the last part for enough.

Western residents in shock tonight after hearing of the potential closing of another high school. Students will no longer step in the plan or the high school. Two close, and there's only going to be one high school in the city.

Plan lays off two hundred and six, 238 teachers when schools facing a ten million dollar, million dollar deficit. I was thinking of maybe, like, 'cause you can't even see my shoes, so I was like maybe like some sandals, cute? This morning, I mean, the big day is in a couple of hours. Really? Yeah, something super nervous, but I'm really excited.

And how does it feel knowing this is the school's last prom ever, and you'll be a part of it? It feels like I have—it’s like so much pressure. I had to go out with a bang! Well, she's wearing purple, the color of royalty, so she'll do great.

For now, live in Burton, I'm Courtney Lien with Fox 66 News.

For years, too long: four years later—four years after decisions by politicians poisoned their water, the people of Flint say the state hasn't kept its promise. The state says the water is clean enough to end distribution of bottled water. Winter will soon run out of water bottles. Water, that is.

These are the people waiting in line for bottled water, and so are these people. I still got it in my water. You don't trust them? No. The city will stop handing out water once supplies run out.

Every time I go somewhere, someone hits me with a water truth. We were told the water crisis was over, yet we still can see, like, yellow colors and brown in our water. They still say it's safe to drink; it's really not safe to drink. We don't trust them. The whole situation is a slap in the face. The water is a problem when it's more to it than that: closing our schools, taking away Jane, abandon houses on one block, violence, any killing.

I'm just telling you like this.

Sláinte, always about security under Steve.

Mommy, will you just dabble? Oh, I'm looking. She looks so pretty. This is a day, huh? It's like magical. You have these people who you see all year, and then dressing in casual clothing, and then they look like princesses or queens. It's just a transformation. They just want to have a day where you ain't gotta worry about nothing.

  • [Music] *

Simo, if we didn't get to go to prom, he was 17; he got murdered. A lot of people in my family didn't get to, like, a prom, so I'm doing this for everybody in my family. It's our time to shine; people are fleeing on, you know, time side.

I feel like outsiders literally just see the benefit. I feel as if very outside of it, and they're not looking inside and what you really are because flaming the exact opposite. I want people to see us for who we are. I feel like Flint is literally one of us, and if you don't take a step in, you will never know.
