Several snowmen were constructed on the playground by the younger students. They spent many recesses rolling snow into the perfect sized balls to make the body and head. They searched for the right sticks to make the arms and face. Now those snowmen have melted and all that remains on the ground are a few sticks. The warm weather took care of all their hard work.
