I just found out that the local high school (my alma mater) has this week off, as they have for many years, for SKI WEEK.
Bonus OC absurdity points: this was a money saving move
Triple word score: it didn’t work.

at least they’re being honest about it and not making up some bullshit holiday.
although maybe it would be better if it was a made up holiday..
Um…
Well, they DID make up a bullshit holiday – SKI WEEK.
Re: Um…
well i mean like, it’s in celebration of president william henry harrison or something. or they could have just called it “we can’t afford to run school this week” week.
Presidential
It’s President Valentine’s week!!!!
Actually, I’m not sure if it’s the same, but I had ski week every February while in elementary school. The deal was, we wouldn’t get off the little 1 day holidays, like Martin Luther King day or Columbus day, and then the week of presidents day, they would give you all those holidays back…all at once…so you could do something with them.
The NorthEast equivalent of this is “Snow Day”. But these are sporadic and not planned and usually GETTING TO the ski resort is the hard part
