School Principals Are Announcing School Cancellations With Some Seriously Impressive Song And Dance Numbers 😍

Every child loves a snow day, but the polar vortex setting records for freezing temperatures across the Midwest isn't exactly anyone's idea of a good time.

Cancelling school can be a difficult decision for school administrators.


Cancelled classes translates to lost learning time, of course.

These administrators decided to go about cancelling classes in a creative way.

Brett Hoesing, the superintendent in Missouri Valley, Iowa, a district home to 700 students, announced school was closed with a cover of George Michael's "Faith."

"It makes our kids smile, and it makes the community smile, and our parents smile," Hoesing said.

"It just kind of puts Missouri Valley on the map a little bit... It's kind of like, 'Hey, I know this isn't the best situation.' "But at least we can have a laugh over it."

Hoesing's no stranger to announcing school cancellations in this fashion: He did the same thing a couple of weeks ago to a cover of "Everybody," by The Backstreet Boys.

Oh, did we mention that last week he had to cancel school, but at least gave students and their families a cover of "Uptown Funk" to enjoy along with it?

Hoesing's not the only school administrator to do something like this.

Last year, Brian McCann, the principal of Joseph Case High School in Swansea, Massachusetts, starred in a rewritten version of "All That Jazz"––complete with fake snow.

The video proved so popular––it's amassed over 50,000 views––that McCann says he's working on another video for the next snow day.

"We cannot wait for the flakes to come down in southeastern Massachusetts!" he told NPR.

But wait, there's more!

In Michigan's Swartz Creek district, southwest of Flint, Superintendent Ben Mainka and Principal Jim Kitchen donned pairs of sunglasses and announced school would be closed with their very own rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."

Trump Reacts To Conspiracy Theorist FEMA Official Who Claims He Once Teleported To A Waffle House

President Donald Trump appeared noticeably confused after CNN asked him about FEMA official Gregg Phillips' bizarre claim that he once teleported to a Waffle House 50 miles away.

Phillips, a former top Texas health official, was appointed in December to lead FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery—a division with more than 1,000 employees—despite a background that raised questions. For instance, before taking the role, he had made unverified claims, including allegations about election fraud.

Fox News Just Complained About How Low Teen Pregnancy Rates Currently Are—And WTF‽‽

During a Friday segment on Fox News's America’s Newsroom with anchor Dana Perino, senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel called a declining birth rate among people aged 15-19 a "problem."

The discussion revolved around new CDC data showing the United States fertility rate, based on birth rates, has fallen to a record low. The fertility rate fell 7 percent in 2025, from 53.8 births per 1,000 childbearing aged women—defined as age 15 to 44—in 2024 to 53.1, according to a report released by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics on Thursday.
