WES 17th Annual Winter Active 2022
17th ANNUAL WINTER ACTIVE
BRINGS NOTHING BUT SUN, FUN AND SMILES!
On Friday, February 25, our students took part in our 17th Annual Winter Active Day. Students and staff enjoyed a great time on a beautiful sunny, bright day. It was a little cool in the morning, but no big deal, and close to zero degrees after lunch with the hot sun shining and plenty of fun and laughter being heard throughout both sides of the school. Each class was divided up into two groups and they were able to take part in at least four different stations that were spread throughout the school grounds. There were a total of 15 stations. Many classes stayed out a little longer and tried a few extra stations or ventured up to the top of the hill for a photo op.
Students were seen throughout the day smiling, giggling and simply being kids again. Between Covid and brutally cold weather for most of the winter, it was sure nice to head outside and enjoy ourselves. Participation and fair play attitudes were modeling and demonstrated and our students had a blast! Whether it was Tug-of-War, to parachute fun, to snow-cer to snow lacrosse, to obstacle courses to toboggan races to broomball. Whatever the challenge our students accepted it and tried their best to complete the stations to the best of their ability. Staff could also be seen being placed in a parachute and yelling, “Mush!” While their students acting like little huskies pulled them across the school grounds and everyone was laughing and enjoying the ride.
Huge WES STAR salute goes out to Katherine Peterson and her crew of fine volunteer ladies from WEPA for providing refueling snacks after our activities.
The final thank you goes out to the students and staff of WES for their love of life and fun in the snow. It is nice to all come together after a Covid winter and enjoy some beautiful weather and fellowship and continue to model the importance of getting outside and participating in some fun activities.
See you in the gym, or outside!
