First place ($100 prize): Natalie McDaniel, for “Ordinary Greatness,” a profile about the wisdom of her grandmother

No, it’s not a Thursday, but here’s a throwback to Lessons and Carols back in the fall of 2018. It’s been a long time since we’ve shown off our chorale, but we’re looking forward to when we get to have a showing like this again!

Last year we got maybe a foot of snow. No, not all at once—as in the total amount. But that’s not always the case. Believe it or not, we once had a year where it snowed more than six feet in a single go. Now, to you that might sound like a little or a lot, depending on where you come from, but for us it was crazy and canceled classes for a good four days or so!! Anyone crossing their fingers for a repeat snowfall this year?
