This is cooler than COOL! I'm wondering why this never happened in at Denham Springs High School say 1996 or before?! :) I don't think this sounds a bit ridiculous. I think it makes a TON of sense. It was a renewal day for the kids! Go Bellingham Christian School!
Rising mercury gets school a 'sun day'
BELLINGHAM, Washington (AP) -- Instead of enduring a day of inattention and spring fever, Bellingham Christian School declared a "sun day" and gave everyone the day off.
School administrators had told the students there would be no school on the first sunny day that hit at least 63°. After Monday's forecast called for a high of 65, school was closed. The mercury actually hit 68, the National Weather Service reported.
Students were told to return on Tuesday when the forecast called for rain.
No one answered the phone at the school on Monday, although the recorded message said school had been canceled due to the nice weather. Messages left at the school and on the administrator's home phone were not returned.

Bellingham, Washington is not too far from us, maybe about 40 minutes to the north. I LOVE that they had a "sun day". And after the winter we have had, they deserved it! Rain and cold...for months on end. It was awful!!! Spring and summer here is beautiful and sunny, but even I got sick of the rain this winter and I love rain!
