FUNKY COLD MEDINAS: Sophomore Ava Medina and her little sisters (future Knights), and cousins spent the whole snow day outside. They did fun activities such as building snowmen, snowball fights and sledding down the street on boogie boards. “I definitely wasn't expecting it to snow as much as it did in my area, but my little sisters had very high hopes and were very excited when they woke up,” Medina said. “They got out of bed, went outside and started having a snowball fight. We had a lot of fun taking our dogs on a walk around our neighborhood and making s'mores from our fireplace.”

ZOOM TIME! For a kindergartner, it’s very difficult to find ways to learn while practicing social distancing and having two working parents. The solution to this? Well, obviously a Zoom class. Here my little brother joined his first Zoom on a Tuesday morning. He waves to his fellow classmates through the screen after not seeing them for weeks. Photo by Anna Garcia.
