School Calls Off Classes For ‘Sun Day’

Now we know where the “pal” in principal came from. The principal of Bellingham Christian School in Bellingham, Washington, canceled classes at the private school yesterday because it was just too nice outside. “Good morning students, parents and staff. Yes, It’s a Sun Day! Wahooo,” Sampson wrote on the school’s Web site. The site also features a picture of him giving a thumbs-up from the seat of his Suzuki 450 motorcycle. The Sun Day was to “celebrate an exceptionally nice day of the spring season, to promote positive school culture and just for fun,” Sampson said in his note. “Typically we cancel school for bad weather, so why not have some fun and cancel school due to fabulous weather?” Sampson said. Because the school had no snow days last winter, Sampson said it can afford to take a day off.
