As winter arrives, snow days are bound to happen in many northern regions. Many schools appear to be creating amusing videos or songs to inform their students when this occurs.<\/p>\n
Swartz Creek Community Schools, a school district in Michigan, chose to put their unique spin on this trend. Their video has surpassed a million views on YouTube already.<\/p>\n
Wearing their school team gear, Superintendent Ben Mainka and Principal Jim Kitchen pose in front of a camera to share an important message with their students and families. Superintendent Mainka begins with a solemn tone:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to take a moment to share a brief video announcement.\u201d I\u2019ve noticed a trend that\u2019s sweeping across the nation \u2013 superintendents and other administrators are creating absurd songs, playing music, donning sunglasses, and making complete spectacles of themselves in their attempts to announce school cancellations for snow days. It feels like we have\u2026.<\/p>\n
He is interrupted by the sound of piano music in the background \u2013 the recognizable introduction to the famous song \u201cHallelujah.<\/p>\n
Both men appeared to be perplexed. Mainka carries on with his announcement, yet he can\u2019t help but join in with the melody \u2026 \u201cI came across some news about a winter storm\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Principal Kitchen halts him, \u201cHold on!\u201d Hold on! Allow me to emphasize once more. We will not subject ourselves to the embarrassment of singing a snow day song!<\/p>\n
Feeling bewildered, Mainka expresses regret, \u201cI truly have no idea what occurred.\u201d <text\u201dI just can\u2019t tolerate it when folks sing about snow days.\u201d<\/p>\n
The piano music plays on, and he casually slips on a pair of sunglasses. He keeps alerting everyone about the impending storm, urging them to remain indoors and keep warm \u2013 all while singing along to the tune of \u201cHallelujah.\u201d His voice is quite impressive!<\/p>\n
Principal Kitchen puts on a pair of sunglasses and steps over to join Mainka. In remarkable unison, they persist in delivering updates regarding the snow day. \u201cIt\u2019s a snowy day, a chilly winter day.\u201d Relax at home and enjoy some gaming. It\u2019s a wonderful day for the family.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Mainka wishes for everyone to stay warm and enjoy the day, but he also emphasizes the importance of being responsible:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis winter storm will pass quickly; please try not to sleep \u2018til noon.\u201d You ought to be putting in some effort for your parents. I\u2019m confident that parents will value that positive message!<\/p>\n
The pair completed their song and urged everyone to remain safe and cozy. This rendition of a snow day announcement was impressively executed, and the vocal performance was outstanding. This school seems like such a delightful place!<\/p>\n
