For the past month and a half New Haven School District has been experiencing a considerably high amount of snow days. Our last snow days were on February 5th and 6th.
The students were asked what they usually do on their days off and junior Daniel Huff responded by saying, “I try to catch up on the sleep I’ve lost because of school.”
Freshman Brenna Langenberg also said, “I usually sleep in late and not do any of my homework.”
Freshman Lindsey Steinbeck also responded with, “I sit around and basically do nothing till my dogs want to play, then I run around the house about 3 times chasing them. Next, I realize this is too much work for me on a snow day. Finally, I sit on the couch and eat ice cream and chicken nuggets until I realize I might have to go to school tomorrow and go to bed. It's basically like that every snow day.”
Some of the students were also asked what they did on the last snow day they had and junior Caroline Otten said, “I went out to our farm and hung out with my cousins and went sledding and drove around on our four-wheelers.”
Junior Natalie Buchheit also said, “I went to the Ice Cream Shoppe with my friends, drove around a little bit, and then went to my dance class.”
Freshman Jessica Underwood responded with, “I slept in all day.”
The students were asked what they liked most about snow days and freshman Kate Jones claimed, “I like getting to sleep in late.”
Senior McKenzie Pecaut also said, “Not having to go to school and getting to relax.”
Junior Madison Langenberg responded saying, “I like not having to wake up and go to school.”
Lastly, the students were asked what they like least about snow days and senior Sam Penning said, “I often forget what homework I had to do.”
Sophomore Emily Delgado responded, “I dislike missing classes because lessons can get rushed due to time and the teacher might move up a test or shorten a lesson.”
Freshman Andrew Rethemeyer said, “I have to work on the days I don’t go to school.”
Hopefully, spring will come soon, Shamrocks!
