Students looked for corners of light during their free period at the end of the day on May 27, when a power outage left the building in the dark.

The Randolph Campus at St. Paul Academy and Summit School experienced a power outage just after 2 p.m. on the afternoon of May 27.  After school activities still took place, but the lack of lights in wifi at end of the day made it a difficult time for students to prepare for their upcoming final exams. “There was a transformer outage and 247 houses [in the neighborhood] were without power” school receptionist Bonnie Edhlund said. The power resumed, and the telephones and internet were back online about an hour later.
