Freshman, Abbigale Steinert Snowflakes falling softly, all upon the grass lakes, shining look like solid glass trees are empty all leaves have fallen mounds of snow crystals begin to tallen children will play, adults will complain though soon enough it will thaw all precipitation will be rain

Junior, Kaitlynn Bieler Winter Morning The bleak oak floor felt good under my feet, The crackling fire admitted its warmth, Hot chocolate with marshmallows, soothed my taste buds, Outside my window, the snow was gliding like angels falling, The winter air, just under my nose, The clock ticking, synchronized with the creaks of the floor, Smoke of the fire, kept the chocolate warm, The feeling of snow, evaporated on my skin, The smell of the chocolate was too good to be true. This winter was delightful, better than last.

Senior, Lezlly Acevedo As the leaves begin to fall Many things hit the ground For in this time of year We feel so lone and cold As the sun goes by Time goes by Shorter are the days Longer are the nights But in the end Everything comes back As the leaves go green Sophomore, Raegan Boaldin Winter Time: Oh How I love Winter Oh How I love the Cinder Oh how I pray that I’m not a sinner Because Santa won’t give me presents My sister in her adolescents Oh how I wish for her presence On this Christmas Our family will come together But oh the weather Might stop us from being altogether But Oh how I still love The Winter Time

Freshman, Emma Zimmerman A soft, sweet sound comes from the child’s mouth, as his mother lays him to sleep. A lullaby from a loving father, his voice of comfort deep.

The angels watch from up above, they shine a brilliant light. As shepherds from a land nearby witness the calming sight.

O, my heart begins to weep, when I think of the holy time. The feel of calm, and heaven’s song, and of the Son sublime.
