NORTHEAST WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WLUK) – Excitement throughout Northeast Wisconsin as many school districts called off class Tuesday.
Bennett Hron of Appleton leaves no doubt where he stands on the issue.
“I was glad because if we would have had school, we would have had to do math, and we would have had math homework.”
Ben Isom of Appleton explains how he spent his day.
“I was really excited, because I really like to go to the YMCA. It’s generally open and has nice floors.”
But not everybody got the day off, YMCA of the Fox Cities President Bill Breider among them.
“Even though the schools are closed, parents still have to get to work. We open our buildings at 5 am. We open our childcare centers at 6:30 am.”
The school closures mean big business for kid-centered destinations. One of those being Megan Van Handel’s Monkey Joe’s location in Appleton.
“There’s been quite a few families. It’s definitely been busier than a normal Tuesday morning, so that’s kind of nice.”
The cancellations were due to icy road conditions in the morning.
