As snow days roll in, schools are finding creative ways to announce closures. Swartz Creek Community Schools in Michigan joined the trend with a video now boasting over a million YouTube views.
Superintendent Ben Mainka and Principal Jim Kitchen, in school gear, started with a serious announcement. Mainka noted, “Administrators are making over-the-top performances to announce snow days. It seems like we’ve…” when Hallelujah began to play.
Mainka, puzzled, joined in with, “I came across some news about a winter storm…” Kitchen interrupted, “We won’t embarrass ourselves by singing about a snow day!” But soon both donned sunglasses, delivering updates in harmony: “It’s a snowy day, a chilly winter day. Relax at home and enjoy some gaming.”
Mainka urged students to help their parents during the storm. The fun and well-executed performance showcased the duo’s humor and talent, proving Swartz Creek Community Schools knows how to entertain!
