You'll need to add the component 'Snow Day Banner' to your theme. It is recommended to add this to a theme's layout, but it can be added to a page if desired. You can have the component added without the banner displaying--the purpose is to enable/disable it from the settings.

⚙️ Explanation of settings

• Enable the Snow Day Banner's visibility
• Set the Snow Day Banner to display after and/or before specific dates
• Manage the content of the banner (supports raw HTML; it's recommended to keep the banner simple)
• Set whether the banner can be hidden
• Add any custom CSS
