Students in Hays USD 489 are enjoying a second snow day, with classes canceled Tuesday and Wednesday.

Siblings Faith, 11, and Dominic Fondoble, 7, were taking advantage of the time off and the 7.5 inches of wet snow late Tuesday morning.

Dominic, a first-grade student at Roosevelt Elementary School, decided to build a snow fort in their front yard. Faith, a Hays Middle School 6th grader, decided a snowball fight was a better idea.

Dominic said he had discovered the blue plastic bucket he most recently used during a trip to the beach and decided to use it to form the snow into bricks for the walls of his snow fort.

Other youngsters took their sleds to the snow sled hill in Hickock Park, 26th and Donald Dr.
