Last week, Quaker School Moses Brown’s snow day video went viral. The video, uploaded to YouTube, is called School is Closed. It’s a parody of the song Let it Go from the Disney movie Frozen and it now has over 3 million views in just over a week.
We talk with Matt Glendinning, the head of school at Moses Brown, about the process of creating the video, what it’s like to go viral, and what it means to be a Quaker School.
Great QuakerSpeak video! Yesterday, I tried to view the actual Moses Brown video. but couldn’t. Perhaps it was because 3 million viewers had seen it and maybe the schools server had broken down? Today I finally did view it on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjE72Q8s8wo and then I went to Moses Brown School’s site and was able to watch it there at: http://www.mosesbrown.org It has been viewed now more than 3.4 million times! And the acting and voice are great, by the way, so it really deserves the publicity.

Over 4.1 million today in Aug 2018. Great testament to Quaker coolness!
