Swartz Creek HS sings rendition of Hallelujah to announce snow day

The part of what made the song so special is the new lyrics.

"I heard about a winter storm, it's cold and dreary, stay home stay warm, it's a cold and snowy winter morning"
"It's goes like this, when the snow hits, the buses can't get out of it, it's a cold and snowy winter morning"
"It's a snow day, a winter cold day, stay home and just play, it's a great family day."

"I started with a couple of lines, I sent it to him," Kitchen said. "He finished it but my son wrote one line, he said day you gotta give me props."
