| On Tuesday, December 19th, 24 elementary school
students and 1 middle schooler headed out on the
Beacon skating extravaganza. We packed up our hopes
and dreams and headed over to the Yerba Buena ice
skating rink with images of ice and endless fun in our
heads. We arrived early on a bright sunny day and
found that the rink was nearly empty. We clammered
over to get our skates and, after some help, the kids
headed on to the rink. Some of us were skating around
like Michelle Kwan while others looked more like the
new spectacle "Frankenstein on Ice" but we all had a
great time. We skated around and played wonderous
games for about two hours and then headed off for
lunch. After a good skate the kids devoured their food
and headed over to the jungle gym to join countless
other youngsters. It was a celebration of youthful
play and comraderie that was truly a moment to
cherish. What a way to welcome in the holiday spirit. Joy to one and all.
