B.C. principal covers Miley Cyrus song for snow day music video

Chris Wejr parodied “Party in the U.S.A.” to share weather updates with Shortreed elementary students

Chris Wejr, principal of Shortreed Community Elementary in Aldergrove, continued his tradition of snow day videos when Langley was blanketed in more than a foot of snow on Wednesday, Jan. 17.

With the schools closed and empty of staff and students, Wejr filled the halls with his own lyrics about the weather over Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.”

This year’s song selection was picked to be more upbeat than previous years, Wejr told the Langley Advance Times, and he also wanted to pick a song that kids and parents would recognize.
