No snow day, but a day off anyway

The kids have been waiting and waiting for a snow day off of school.  We haven't had any snow yet, but the kids got Monday off of school for a different reason.  There was a felon that shot at a police officer in Buena Vista during a traffic stop on Friday night.  He ran away and was hiding out somewhere near Enderly Heights Elementary.  The school district didn't feel good about having the kids go to school on Monday because he still hadn't been found on Sunday night.  He was finally found in a church attic Monday afternoon.  The kids enjoyed the day off. They are still waiting for snow to come.  We understand that there were 19 snow days last year.  We have hardly ever had a snow day in Wyoming so the kids are excited to miss a few days of school this year.
