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."

Why weren't our school administrators this creative?






Kids these days––they don't know how good they have it!

Threads User's Epic Rant Ripping MAGA Fans Who Now Claim They 'Always Had Doubts' About Trump Has The Internet Applauding

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.

Sean Duffy Ripped After Encouraging Americans To Take 'Road Trips' As Gas Prices Continue To Soar

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was called out after he encouraged Americans to take "road trips" as gas prices continue to rise as a result of President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Republicans have faced pressure from constituents nationwide to address the rising cost of living, but Americans are feeling pain at the pump now that the Iran war, which the Trump administration kicked off in late February, has prompted a spike in gas prices.
