Spring Has Sprung!
By Megan Viso
A season that comes around each year has sprung yet again. Spring! Spring, a beautiful season of new beginnings, blooming flowers, and new life is on its way back to Jenks. In the peak of Spring, it is so easy to look around and admire the beauty surrounding you, however in these first few weeks of spring, much of the beauty goes unnoticed. That is why it is so important to take a pause in your day every once in a while, and simply look around at the small and seemingly insignificant moments that create the lovely season of Spring.
