As if getting to stay home from school wasn’t good enough, students at a school in North Carolina found out the news in the coolest way possible.
No offence to principals, but a lot of people would have an impression of them as strict and stuffy disciplinarians and not people associated with an ability to have fun or have a laugh at their own expense.
When you hear, then, that a principal and vice-principal of a school performed their own version of Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice, Ice Baby’ to announce the closure of a school for a day due to adverse weather conditions, then you, like us, would probably set your faces to cringe ahead of the inevitably embarrassing results.
That, however, wasn’t the case with Head of School Michael Ulku-Steiner and Assistant Head of School/Upper School Director Lee Hark at the Durham Academy in North Carolina, who made a music video based on their own version of the Vanilla Ice rap to explain why the school was being closed… and did a damn fine job of it too.
You can forget about Icey-T and Scoopy Scoopy Dogg Dogg; this is the kind of rap that the kids want to get down to these days.
