The Bluestocking 2022-23

Madison Meyers | Grade 12 A Day on the Ice Strong gusts of wind soared through the air as my hands ached while I pulled hard on the laces of my skate. my helmet squeezed my head tight, cushioning it for protection. Slowly, I put on my gloves, and my fingers began to de-thaw. I took my first step on the crystal-clear ice. I could hear a faint cracking noise as I leaped forward and my skates dug into the ice. Skating through the groups of people, I dodged those who had fallen, the air brisk on my cheeks. I felt a warm feeling soar through my body, even though the air felt as cold as ice. Scanning the ice, I could see smiling faces and red noses. the winter fair in my town was nothing short of spectacular. The air filled with fog from the warm breaths of people.

The Ice Brought Us All Together.
