Winter Activities

by Aria H.

As the temperature drops and winter sets in, YMS students find ways to enjoy themselves inside or out! This winter, I interviewed YMS students about their favorite cold-weather activities! For some, that can mean drinking a warm mug of hot chocolate—marshmallows slowly sinking into the chocolaty dessert, snuggled up on the couch, watching the snow peacefully drift on the tree tops, or for others, bundling in snow gear with family and sledding, making memories they'll never forget!

First I interviewed Stella H., a sixth grade student. I asked her what her favorite winter activity was and she answered joyfully, “I love playing club volleyball and going to fun tournaments with my friends and teammates!”

Then I asked Asher P., a seventh grade student and he answered, “ For me, my favorite winter activity is wrestling, to the long bus rides to laughing with friends at practice to everything inbeteween.” With all these sports this question should be what’s your favorite winter sport!

Lastly I asked Lacey, an eighth grade student and she answered, “I love going to the ice rink and skating with my friends!”

Although their activities are different, each student shared something in common: spending winter doing what they love with people who matter to them!
