On Wednesday, January 25th, the Senior class went to the Ice Vault in Augusta to go ice skating. Many students had never skated before and were assisted by Mr. Beach and Ms. Hewett. Mr. Beach said he was “proud of the students for trying a new scary experience. They showed a lot of compassion for each other. It was cool that they were brave and willing to go out and have fun doing something new.” He made a relatable comment about having the skating rink reserved, saying, “There were no dangerous obstacles in the shape of little people.” He also said he had a lot of fun “hanging out with (his) advisory kids for (his) first and only year with them.” Students who had skated before tried new tricks like skating backward and spinning. Many students also enjoyed sliding across the ice with the Skate aid devices or had their more experienced friends pull them around. Overall, most of the kids and chaperones “thought it was awesome!”
