This week our school celebrated Candlemas and classes made homemade candles from melted beeswax. Our middle school discussed how, despite these recent cold days, the world will soon start to wake from its winter sleep. As Candlemas marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, we reviewed our work in astronomy and the Earth’s rotation around the sun. Even in these days of wet snow and bitter chill, we can find the light as we know spring will soon be upon us.
