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.

1. Hey, not funny. I live in Cleveland and we are just about as sun deprived

When there is a nice day, you just want to run out and soak it up.


It will make people feel good!

3. I think that's great. The kids will always remember that.

Also, it teaches them to savor the nice days.

On the other hand, we've actually had a beautiful, sunny spring here in the Pacific Northwest (this week excepted).
