Snow is a very defining and special part of winter, whether you’re someone who likes to play in it, or stay inside and watch it fall. It’s cold and beautiful, and either makes the season that much better or worse, depending on where you live or simply by your opinion.

This year, Random Acts of Kindness Day falls on Friday, February 17, a day to implement a little more kindness into each other’s lives.

The Squire got the details from Student Council Supervisor, Mrs. Lobdell, and from Student Council member, Brigit Cook.
