It was the longest cold spell in Walkerville history. All the kids were excited that the schools were closed. All the kids, except the ones who were supposed to go on a field trip. Their bus was the only way they could get around to places like Hawaii and Pompeii. And why did they want so badly to go to hot places? Not because they were sick and tired of snow. Everyone loves snow. They wanted to learn about the physics of the volcano. And their field trips were usually such a mix of education and entertainment, it was worth it for these kids to attend school. They wanted to check out lava from inside the volcano more than they wanted to build snow forts and throw snowballs at each other. It was a strange culture they had fallen into, yet they embraced it with their every fiber, yes, their every molecule. Next time the bus was running, these strange kids hoped to study even those.
School was closed for a snow day, and the Frizz-kids of Walkerville Elementary School could not enjoy it.
