Think back....there is nothing better then the feeling you got when school was cancelled for snow. You woke up and saw the snow. The race to the radio was next,(WICC when I was a kid) and waited to hear your school called off....of course each time I listened they would start with Ansonia....I had to wait all the way to the T's to get my prize.
That same feeling always came to me on the last day of school. That feeling you got as you walked out into the sunshine knowing...school was out for summer.
The communication may be a little different today, but the feeling is the same. At about 8:30 last night Jessica went to the school website to find they had posted the cancellation for today. (2nd day in a row) The celebration started. I had all the kids dancing around the screaming. They then got on the cell phones and started texting their friends. Within minutes their phones were buzzing and beeping with delight.
The only sad part of my story......as adults we do not get those days anymore. Maybe we will when we retire....I doubt it. You are never as carefree as kid.
