Every winter, weather permitting, gym teacher Allison Peters plans two weeks of skating lessons for first- through fourth-grade students.
Clinton Elementary School first-grader Sage Fjalstad reacts to taking a fall despite using a chair for extra support during an ice skating lesson Tuesday. A small ice rink has been created in front of the school, and gym teacher Allison Peters is working with first- and second-graders to help them learn.
