Z is for Zoom |
Seasons are a huge factor because a majority of the projects
we take on are outside. In the winter here in Utah, it gets cold, windy, and
snowy which prevent us from outdoor time. In the springtime, we turn the garden
and add some of the oh-too-fresh compost to fertilize the soil and then we
plant veggies and a combination of beautiful flowers. This spring, on the girls’
side of campus, we are working on building a fence due to the fact that the
local deer feel entitled to our veggies. In the summer time, most of our
downtime is spent outside working in the garden, playing with the animals, and
trying to stay cool in this hot, dry climate. We also enjoy eating outside with
campus-wide BBQ’s and playing sports in the ball field. Fall is spent preparing
for the winter months. We turn the garden a few times and rake up all the
fallen leaves. In the winter time, we spend a majority of the time bonding and
growing together as homes and a campus. Ombu, the girls’ home, plays cards and
board games with any free time or pile together on the couches for a girly
night.
Seasons aren’t the only influence on our activities here
though. School is another big part of our time. We are in school from 8-3 PM
and then again from 6-7 in the afternoons during the week. Because every
student works at their own pace, the blended learning style allows each
individual to take the time needed to really learn the material. This allows
students to graduate year round and sometimes even graduate ahead of their
expected class.
We appreciate the time you have taken to read about our
lives here at Cedar Ridge, and hope that we have answered a majority of the
questions you might have!
…..ZOOOOMMMMMM!
