"in honor of the Eagles' Super Bowl appearance," Quakertown Community School District in upper Bucks County will observe a two-hour delay on Monday, Feb. 13, Superintendent Bill Harner said in a tweet. 

The calendar on the district's website also reminds parents and students about the delay, with "Go Birds!" the only explanation given. 

On Wednesday, Feb. 1, Quakertown students at Neidig and Richland elementary schools got up close and personal with rookie Eagles receiver Britain Covey, who stopped by to answer questions and give high-fives. 

Covey and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12.
