Who does not enjoy a snow day? From sleeping in to playing in the snow, students make the most out of every snowy moment. This year, Kingston faced a big snowstorm, which led to multiple surprising snow days that students excitedly enjoyed. Snow days are a perfect way to enjoy fun activities and relax and give students and faculty a break from the usual school schedule. 

While boarding students were stuck on campus, there were many fun activities on campus to keep them occupied. Throughout the day, students not only played in the snow, but competed for society points with competitions for creating snow angels and snowmen on back campus. Zuzana Havlickova ‘26 said “Even when it is freezing, it is always really fun to sleep in for extra time, hang out with friends, and play in the snow.” The fun did not stop there, students had snowball fights and went sledding down steep hills in Kirby Park. Melia Benetos ‘26 mentions how “[She] loves snow days! [Her] favorite thing to do on a snowy day is to go sledding and play in the snow!” 

Although some students love the outdoor snow day adventures, many students prefer to stay bundled up inside, watching movies and playing games. Kaila Chung ‘27 “loves to put on a movie and play Roblox games, while enjoying [her] favorite winter beverage, hot chocolate.”  For other students, snow days are the perfect opportunity to enjoy their hobbies. Nancy Dahal ‘28 “loves to paint, read, or do puzzles [on snow days]. It makes [her] feel more connected with [her] passions and lets [her] relax without feeling bored!” While everyone may not spend a snow day the same way, everyone makes the most of them!

As the weather forecast calls for more snow in the weeks ahead, many students are looking forward to even more snow days! Playing outside in the snow or staying cozy indoors, what are some ways you spend your snow days?
