Head of School Matt Glendinning of the Moses Brown School posted the video to the Moses Brown's Twitter account, announcing that school would be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 27. In pure cornball humor reminiscent of Weird Al Yankovic, Glendinning sang his own rendition of the lyrics, encouraging students to enjoy the day off and be safe.
- School is closed
School is closed
'Cause it snowed so much last night
School is closed
School is closed
Stay at home and sit tight
Stay inside
Or go out and play
Gonna grab my sled
The cold never bothered me anyway
...
It's time for fires,
And cocoa, too
To read an engaging book
Or two
Today no Moses Brown for me
I'm free!
School is closed
School is closed
Because the snow's too deep
School is closed
School is closed
You can stay in bed and sleep!
Fellow teachers and parents of students responded to the video with endearment, and many unrelated with the school shared their appreciation for Glendinning's adorable way of communicating the news.
The Moses Brown School is an independent, college-prep, Quaker day school in Providence, teaching children from nursery age to the 12th grade.
