We asked juniors and seniors how they spent their Friday, after learning that a weather-related power outage led to a school cancellation.

“I’m working on college essays because I have more time, and I’ll probably meet up with a friend or two at a coffee shop later to get some work done because I have no power at my house.” – Jordana Avigad, senior

“This cancellation was a lovely surprise. I had two questions on my stats homework that I did not know how to do, and I was in no mood to be roasted by Mr. Lester. Instead, I got to spend my morning at breakfast with two of my best friends, so I’d say that’s a win.” – Maureen Walsh, senior

“My power went off last night at 7 pm, and I didn’t get home from the fall play until 10:15. Then, I was up until 1 am doing homework on a dying computer on my hotspot in the dark. Needless to say, it was an EXTREMELY pleasant surprise to wake up to a cancellation!” – Skylar Davidson, senior

“I’m going to the movies with my grandma, and I’m kinda happy about the cancellation.” – Brendan Werner, junior

“I’m spending my day playing with my dog and catching up on some reading that I have to do for English…I’m going to use a face mask and de-stress from the week.” – Bella Tumolo, senior
