Walking in Lynn’s Winter Wonderland

By Jennifer O’Toole Editor & Ryann Brooks Staff Writer

The Knight’s Activities Team (KAT) held their annual Snow Day on Dec. 15 in an effort to bring the North to the South. The snowstorm rolled in with 15 tons of snow, an ice skating rink and numerous wintery treats.
Several clubs and organizations donated their time to make sure Snow Day was a success. Knights in the Community sponsored Gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate, Alpha Phi Delta provided music for the event, Sigma Sigma Sigma helped students make paper snowflakes, the Residence Hall Association distributed snow cones, Student Government provided smores, Hillel made latkes, Relay For Life sold t-shirts and the National Broadcasting Society hosted the event.
“Snow Day is my favorite. It reminds me of home in Oregon. It’s also the perfect time in the semester to take a break from school work,” said Hunter Barendrick, senior.
Students were able to unwind and reminisce on childhood activities. “We had a snowball fight! It got pretty intense. I haven’t had one of those in years,” said first time attendee Jimmy Carlson, senior.
Senior Megan Neumann said, “Snow Day was so much fun. It was really cool to see mountains of snow and people having a snow ball fight.”
As the sun set and the snow melted, Snow Day was a huge success and a great way for students to relieve stress from finals, relax and enjoy the unusual South Florida weather.
