Winter is a magical time of year, especially for the Eaglebrook community. The snow transforms the entire campus into a simply breathtaking winter wonderland. The snowflakes drifting from the sky fill everyone with wonder and amazement, turning everything into a picturesque paradise.

While some people might find snow a nuisance, students at Eaglebrook have learned to appreciate all that winter has to offer. Whether it is building snowmen or sledding down hills, every activity in the snow is filled with peace and tranquility. As the snow falls and covers everything in a blanket of white, a beautiful silence seems to descend on everything, creating a much-needed break from the usual chaos of daily life.

Of course, there are always some challenges that come with snow, especially when it comes to walking around in Crocs! As the icy ground is slippery, students sometimes fall, but the presence of the maintenance staff ensures the students’ safety, helping maintain a safe environment at Eaglebrook. 

Having snow at Eaglebrook brings the community together and makes everything feel more lively. It reminds us to appreciate the world's beauty despite the fierce winter breeze. I encourage everyone to step out, take a deep breath of fresh air, and take in all the beauty that Eaglebrook offers during winter.

And let's remember all the fantastic winter sports we can enjoy in the snow, like skiing and snowboarding! These activities are so much fun and allow us to feel immersed in the beauty of nature. I cannot wait to hit the slopes with my friends, feel the cold wind on my face, and enjoy the beautiful view and fresh air. Skiing with friends is a memorable experience that brings people closer together.

So, let's all embrace the winter season in Eaglebrook and create memories we will cherish forever. There is much to enjoy and appreciate about this beautiful time of year!
