Snow Day and Happy Birthday, M!

It's a parents' nightmare, but a teacher's dream....snow day! My school is a charter school that draws from many districts. Therefore, we have a policy of never having two-hour delays, because some districts have them, some do not, and it's hard to know who will show up on the bus at the regular time. So, while other districts have been coasting by on shortened days, we've been holding to our regular 7 hour school day (which is very long for kindergarten, by the way).

But today, I received a six a.m. phone call announcing that school is cancelled! I'm not sure why...it looks no more inclement outside than most days, but the snow is forecasted to fall throughout the day.

In addition, it is M's birthday today. Happy Birthday, M! He works at the University, which never, ever closes, so he won't be so lucky.
