CINCINNATI -- Schoolchildren in Cincinnati will have something to cheer about no matter what happens in Super Bowl LVI.
Cincinnati Public Schools announced Monday that staff and students will have the day off Feb. 14, the day after the Bengals play the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI.
In a letter sent to parents that was obtained by ESPN, the city's largest school district cited "celebrating" the Bengals' first Super Bowl victory as the reason why it amended the academic calendar and made Feb. 14 a day off.
"We hope that you enjoy roaring the Bengals to a win on Sunday and take this time to take pride in our incredible city and amazing football team," the district said in the statement to parents.
