New Holiday


Usually, when children have snow-holidays, they can enjoy the snow instead of being in school. As a kid, it was my dream to know what it would be like to have snow-holidays...but unfortunately we never had them in our tyrolean village. Does this holiday really exist?

Snow days are great! With one phone call, your plans for the whole day are canceled...as a child I loved snow days. As a teacher...I live for them!!!:)

It existed for me!! Here in Québec, where i was born, we had a couple of snow days and i lived for them!!! Kids today still have them also.

It's me again...another teacher that I work with sent this to me today...I guess all teachers are just kids at heart. i thought that you might like it.

Teacher's Prayer for Snow

Oh Lord, let it snow.
Let it drift and let it blow.
In the morning, no real fuss,
Just enough to stop the bus.
Enough to make the county say:
"There will be no school today."
Let the radio report: "Snow's deep!"
And I'll roll over for more sleep.
Then later on, say maybe ten,
I'll turn the radio on again.
Just in time to hear them say:
"It's strange, the snow has gone away."
And then I'll know, You made it stop.
So I can go to the mall and shop.
Please Lord, just hear my teacher's plea,
And make it snow for the kids and me.
