Adventure Swimming

I heard the pop-pop-pop, felt the white hot burning as I slammed into the ground with sudden force. I was 5 miles into a trail run, and seconds before, I felt wild and free, like the trees I was running through. It was the first day of summer, after a…

Skiing Under the Lift

I stood at the top of the slope and smiled at my good fortune. The blizzard was still fresh in the air, flakes continuing to drop lightly, not giving up. They glittered, dancing about the grayish blue sky. The east coast had seen a dump of snow unlike any it…

Post Election Strategies and Support for Teachers

Post Election Strategies and Support for Teachers Many teachers have wondered how exactly they would respond to the results of the presidential election.
