Happy Returns!

Sunday was the day that every student packed up their stuff and head for Conserve School. I was one of the earlier one's to arrive, and was happy to greet people as they came to the parking lot. The day was filled with hugs and squeals and tons of snow. We were all so glad to be back home, because Conserve School is truly our home.
The snow was incredible, it covered everything with inches of white powder and steadily got more compact beneath our feet. The sledding hill was full of people, though we had no sleds. The slick sidewalls carried people from one end to the other with only a few push-offs. The snowballs were flying past us and fell apart, still in the air.
It was a great day to be back home with our friends, welcoming everyone back with glee. For me, Thanksgiving, though great and fun, was nothing like Conserve School and made me yearn to come back even more. Now we are back at school, going to classes and saying hi in the halls, like we were never gone. I don't know how any of us are going to survive leaving for good when the semester is done, we can't even fathom it.
Hope everyone else's Thanksgivings had some good highlights.
PEACE,
