"In a sun-deprived part of Washington state, the promise of nice
spring weather prompted a small private school to give students a day
off to enjoy the sunshine.
Friday is a "sun day" of sorts for the 205 students at Bellingham
Christian School, a small, private, nondenominational Christian school
in Bellingham, Wash., about 90 miles north of Seattle.
"SCHOOL CANCELLED DUE TO GREAT WEATHER! WAHOOO!" the
school's website announced Thursday night. "Yeah! It's a Sun Day today
and everyone gets the day off from school."
Principal Bob Sampson said he wanted to give students some time to
re-energize and enjoy the weather, adding that he wanted to re-create
the excitement snow days get among the kids. He began teasing the
possibility of giving the day off earlier in the week.
"In a world that's got a lot hard things going, it's fun to create a moment of joy," Sampson said."
