Throughout the winter months, Nebraskans are often faced with cold, dark conditions. Regardless of snow days, sledding, and hot coco, moods are often low during these months. This month, we asked 4 members of the BT Community how they raise their spirits during these often somber winter months:

“I like to light my spaces up with colored lights and candles cause light always makes my mood better!”

-Ms. Diehl, Science Teacher and Middle School Advisor

“Season changes can be very hard for people more used to tropical weather, especially during the colder months of January and February.

-Mrs. Navarro, Spanish Teacher and 9th grade Class Sponsor

– Frank Soto Tighe, 12th grade

“I got a kettle for Christmas and I’ve gotten super into making licorice tea! It’s really good with vanilla coffee creamer.”

– Ava Larson Gallegos, 10th grade
