GLC takes Ruby Hill

     On Sunday, a group of high schoolers were able to test their skills in snowboarding and skiing at Ruby Hill. Most of the students were trying out snowboarding and skiing for the first time, and others were there to improve their skills or help out the beginners. It started off bumpy, and the beginners had trouble staying balanced. This resulted in a lot of falls, but no one gave up.

Even when they fell, their spirits were up and they were ready to start again before they even got back on their feet! Eventually the beginners were jumping off the piles of snow packed together to make a jump, having no fear of falling like they did in the beginning. Our students were having such a blast, they didn’t want to stop. After a couple of hours on the terrain hill, we left the snow and traded in our skis and snowboards for some gloves and trash grabbers. We finished up the day with a trash pick up in the park, making sure the park was in better shape than when we arrived that morning.

     All of our students had a fabulous time, laughing and smiling the whole day. And all of them said they couldn’t wait to try again!
     We’d also like to extend a huge thank you to Christy Sports for donating our rentals and working with us to make sure all of our students had gear for our big day.
