“It is too nice a day to have school!” a message on website said, adding that the call to give folks the day off was made by Headmaster Len McWilliams.
“In the late 1980’s, I was calling school off one winter day because of the terrible weather,” McWilliams said in the message on the website. “The thought occurred to me that it would be great to call school off some day because it was too beautiful a day to go to school. I decided that some day before retiring I would do it.”
