People around the world use Twitter as an open forum for expressing their feelings and what’s on their mind. On Tuesday night, HHS students did that and more.

With wind chills predicted to be in the -30s on Wed. January 7 morning, many students around the metro, especially at HHS, were hoping for their first “Cold Day” of the school year. On Tuesday night at 9 p.m, Hopkins Schools tweeted “At this time, HPS (Hopkins Public Schools) will operate regular hours tomorrow. If we decide to cancel or delay, we will announce by 5:30 a.m. Stay tuned.”

Some HHS students and parents were angered by the tweet and turned to Twitter to express their frustration, both cleanly and explicitly.

Among those students was Asher Weisberg, junior.

“I felt like the message needed to be put out, which was dire and crucial to the original tweet,” Weisberg said. “I felt like it was important that the [administration] knew the feelings.”

Max Harlan, junior, also responded to Hopkins’ tweet, but for another reason.

“I was unhappy about having school, but I wasn’t tweeting at them because I was unhappy, it was just funny,” Harlan said. “I got 11 retweets and 60 favorites.”

Hoping to lighten the mood, Emma Noble, junior, tweeted a picture from the Disney movie Frozen, replacing Anna and Elsa’s faces with Hopkins administrators.

“I just wanted to make the situation lighter and make fun out of it in a G-rated form,” Noble said. “I realize [Principal Patty Johnson] has nothing to do with it, but she has blonde hair and so does Elsa.”

Although most students wanted a day off, they also wanted retweets and favorites. Noble’s picture, created with help from the app PicCollage, received 23 retweets and 115 favorites.

“At first I was mad, but when I realized all the other Lake Conference schools had school too I didn’t care as much,” Noble said.

School was in session as usual on Wednesday, despite the various tweets back at Hopkins’ original tweet.

“It was all in good fun,” Weisberg said.
