Snow Week #wintersuccess

We had what I would have called a "snow week" this school week. Usually when you think of a school day, it is a day off of school due to weather conditions that can become dangerous for students getting to school or coming home. The snow can be extremely dangerous, along with the icy roads and streets.

That is why we had a lot of school days this week, making it a school week. Our school has a systematic schedule giving the students, teachers, and faculty every other wednesday a half day. This week just happened to be one of those. While we went to school this past Monday, it was a drag. If there was anyway we could have a little mini vacay in the middle of this dreadful Winter, it would be great. We did! That night we got around four inches of snow. The road to school was slippery (I live a few blocks away from school). There was no way we were having school, let alone a two hour delay. And the snow only continued. We got Wednesday off as well. It could have been a two hour delay, but with the early out already in place, what would have been the point? That night, I was happy to find out that the city's school district cancelled school for the next day. And Friday, we got a two hour delay. It was a magical week, full of chores that didn't get done the previous weekend, and homework that was caught up on.

There was no better week in my school career than this one. I think that it was great that the schools didn't take chances with accidents and family situations. Someone could have lost their life. We have to be careful as a society, especially in the Mid West, where there is erratic weather. Hopefully we can have another week like this, but spring break is on the verge. Plus, we really don't want to still be in school until June because we are making up days from January. You have to have oh so many school days in as a district. I think it is around 180 days. Hopefully we don't have to go in June because of the snow week, but it was well worth it, if we did. I hope everyone stayed safe, and had a great snow break! #hotcocoa #movies #blankets (400)
