Mahwah Students Will Have Longer Memorial Day Break
The board of education voted to put unused snow days back in the calendar
During a school year when Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the calendar, a lack of snow days will pay off for township students.
Mahwah’s board of education voted Wednesday night to elongate this year’s Memorial Day weekend break using two unused snow days that were built into the post-Sandy calendar.
Mahwah students will now be off Friday through Tuesday, May 24, 27 and 28. Previously, students only had the Monday off.
