Exploring Nature
“Somewhere in between unbearable cold temperatures and beaming hot sun rays, spring peaks in. Flowers bloom again, the sun sets later, and the world fills with color. Somewhere in between winter and summer, the world pushes you to remember the beauty it produced. As we wind down the school year, The Wind-Up advocates for you to go outside.

So, as spring quickly forms into summer, allow the sun to touch your skin, let grass flow through your fingers, and watch every sunset you can, simply to remind yourself that endings can be beautiful too.”
