The Cavalier Elementary students celebrated Hoodie-Hoo Day on Friday, February 19. On this winter day, people go out and wave and chant "Hoodie-Hoo". This is a day to chase away winter and bring in spring. Mr. O'Leary, 4th grade teacher, comments, "After all, everone in the northern hemisphere is sick and tired of winter. We all shout and yell to the northern winter season in an attempt to hurry the approaching spring." View more pictures of the event.
