On the last day of winter break students received a phone informing them that school would be canceled due to the weather. This was followed by four more phone calls that canceled the rest of the school week up until Friday.

“When I got the first two phone calls I was so excited,” junior Claire Ji said. “I couldn’t believe we had two more after that.”

Ji spent her snow days watching movies and eating food. Although she enjoyed this she did point out one down side of snow days.

“Even though you get a day off you can’t really go out of your house,” Ji said. ” But aside from that everything else is perfect.”

Spanish teacher Ms. Williamson enjoys taking her daughters out to play in the snow  and watching family movies when school is canceled.

“I like the anticipation of weather or not we will have school,” Williamson said.

Williamson prefers to me notified at night when there is a snow day but does not mind getting a phone call at 5:30 in the morning.

” If I get a call in the morning it means I am able to just crawl back into bed and go back to sleep,” Williamson said.

A unique activity was done by junior Taylor Burlis during the snow days. She went with her family and friends into an empty parking lot where they tried snowboarding behind a car.

“I was scared at first but it turned out to be a lot of fun,” Burlis said. “I have wakeboarded before and it  was pretty similar to that.”

This activity which Burlis calls “carboarding” is done by attaching a ski rope to the back of a car and towing the person standing on the snowboard behind it.

“I love how snow days give us a chance to try new things like carboarding and to sleep in,” Burlis said.
