The Students are Snowed in

A snow storm extended Winter Break by a week, giving students a relaxing and fun start to the New Year.

On January 3rd, it snowed reoughly 9 inches in the Northern Virginia area. Schools all around the county closed for snow including Bishop Ireton. The school provided a total of 3 Snow Days and 2 remote learning days throughout the first wekk of January.

Seniors Graham Lawerence, Trey Hobson, Henry Swoope, Ana Jones, Lily Taylor, Max Zummo, David McAdam, Maddie Rauner, Charlie Murphy, Taylor Ballenger, and Camryn Craig ultilized their Snow Day to go sledding down a nearby hill and build snowmen. “We tried to snow board down the hill”, senior David McAdam says. “But, that didn’t work out very well. It was nice to have some time off to spend time with friends in the snow.”

Senior Arthur Seng and junior Evan Safreed went snowboarding and skiing at Liberty Ski Resort during their snow day. “This time of year is great” Seng says. “You never know when snow can come and and give you some time off.”

Senior Colin Nash went sledding with his friends at Pinecrest Golf Course. “We had a lot of fun playing in the snow.” Nash says.
