As winter sets in, many northern areas are likely to experience snow days. In response, numerous schools are creating entertaining videos or songs to notify their students about these closures.

Swartz Creek Community Schools, located in Michigan, decided to add their own twist to this trend. Their video has already garnered over a million views on YouTube.

Dressed in their school spirit attire, Superintendent Ben Mainka and Principal Jim Kitchen stand in front of the camera to deliver an important message to students and their families. Superintendent Mainka starts off with a serious tone:

“I’d like to take a moment to share a brief video announcement.” I’ve noticed a growing trend across the country – superintendents and other school leaders are making silly songs, wearing sunglasses, and putting on quite a show to announce school closures for snow days. It seems like we have…

Suddenly, the sound of piano music fills the air – the familiar intro to the well-known song “Hallelujah.”

Both men look a bit confused. Mainka continues with his announcement but can’t resist joining in with the tune … “I heard some news about a winter storm…”

Principal Kitchen interrupts him, “Wait! Hold on! Let me reiterate. We will not embarrass ourselves by singing a snow day song!”

Looking puzzled, Mainka apologizes, “I honestly have no idea what just happened. I just can’t stand it when people sing about snow days.”

The piano music continues, and he casually puts on a pair of sunglasses. He keeps reminding everyone about the approaching storm, encouraging them to stay indoors and keep warm – all while singing along to “Hallelujah.” His singing voice is quite impressive!

Principal Kitchen puts on a pair of sunglasses and walks over to join Mainka. In perfect harmony, they continue to share updates about the snow day. “It’s a snowy day, a chilly winter day.” Take some time to relax at home and enjoy some gaming. It’s a fantastic day for family bonding.

Superintendent Mainka encourages everyone to stay warm and make the most of the day, but he also stresses the importance of being responsible:

“This winter storm will pass quickly; please don’t sleep in until noon.” It’s important to lend a hand to your parents. I’m sure they will appreciate that positive attitude!

The duo finished their announcement and reminded everyone to stay safe and snug. Their rendition of the snow day message was impressively delivered, and the vocal performance was exceptional. This school truly seems like a wonderful place!
