Durham Academy Weather Announcement

 This is hilarious... have you seen it yet? Way to go, guys....  Lyrics below.. and some info about the school itself from one of my favorite blog readers, Maggy....who is a tutor at the Hill Center across the street.

Durham Academy (aka, "DA") has two campuses; the Upper School (high school) and Lower School (elementary grades) are across the street from The Hill Center, the school I tutor for. In fact, back in the late 70s, George Watts Hill, a community leader and philanthropist, and his 2nd wife, a teacher with three children (one which had learning disabilities), were instrumental in bringing together educators to help address and teach students with learning differences. That initial program morphed into what is now The Hill Center, which is both a school as well as a training center for teachers.






Lyrics:

All right stop, Collaborate and listen
Ice is back and the roads will glisten
Polar vortex has a hold of us tightly
Wind like a harpoon daily and nightly

Will the power stop? Yo -- I don't know
Turn up the heat and then let go
Sleet fallin' down like a million missiles
Bringin' school delays and early dismissals.

Dance, To the grocery store
Buy batteries before conditions become . . .
Deadly, slippery roads might be
So stay in your house and drink hot tea

Don't worry kids, the learning's not lost
We have Evernote, Moodle, Veracross
If there is a problem, Greg Fishel will solve it
Check out a book while the ice dissolves. It's

Ice, ice baby. No school, there's ice, ice baby. No school, there's ice, ice baby. No school there's ice, ice baby!
