❄️ Operation: SNOW DAY ❄️
Is it just us, or is the air smelling a little bit like... NO SCHOOL? ☃️
We are officially initiating the Great Snow Dance of 2026! It’s time to wear your pajamas inside out, put a spoon under your pillow, and show us your best moves to convince the winter weather we need a break.
🏆 How to Join the Movement:
• The Facebook Challenge: Drop a video or picture of your best/funniest snow dance in the comments below! The video with the most "Likes" and "Haha" reacts wins ultimate bragging rights . Every post will also get rewarded with a Rooms point for their house!
• The "Rooms" Mission: Send your snow dance picture or video directly to their teacher on Rooms! You will also receive a Rooms point! Let’s show them we’re ready for a cozy day of cocoa and movies. ☕️🎬

Let’s see those moves! Who’s ready for a whiteout? ❄️🕺
We know the drill: You’ve already cleared the shelves of every gallon of milk and loaf of bread in a 50-mile radius. 🍞🥛 But while your stomach is set, what about your brain?!
Don't get snowed in with nothing to read but the back of a cereal box. Swing by our Little Free Library (located right in front of the school) and grab a few "survival stories" to get you through the possible snow. We have some great new selections!
Cost: $0.00
Entertainment Value: 10/10
Stay warm and stay safe!❄️📚

Please hold on to this packet and save for such a purpose. Thank you for your cooperation and support. Please remember to monitor the HCS App and the HCS website for updates regarding weather-related school-system operational changes.
