"We had fun with it. It was very spur of the moment," Ulku-Steiner told CNN later. "We'll try to keep people guessing for sure."

The message announced that Durham Academy, which has some 1,170 students, would be closed on Thursday.

When asked whether the video is typical of how future cancellations might be announced, Hark laughed.

"We were thinking about a rain delay message using Milli Vanilli's 'Blame It on the Rain,' " he joked.

This isn't the first time school administrators have gotten creative with announcements.
