Students at Phillippi Shores IB World School who had earned the right to participate in the second quarter celebration were greeted on Jan. 29 by a winter wonderland of sorts in Sarasota: Lee’s Food Store had provided the school 3 tons of ice for "sledding." PTA volunteers help line up students and get them in the inner tube at the top of the "hill." Photo by Ric Miracle.
Nick Urato isn’t quite sure what to make of the adventure as he begins his slide down the "snowy" hill with help from PTA volunteer Lisa Swift.
Mary Jane Fortenberry enjoys a fast ride on the snow slide.
