With winter disappearing in the mist, a new season is rising.  That would be the season of the rainy and flowery spring.

Spring is a very interesting season.  It’s when the flowers start to bloom and the sun starts to shine. 

Some Ridley High School students and teachers were interviewed with the question, “What is your favorite part about spring?”  Ascar .T. Ogogo, a sophomore in the Emerald Academy, said spring because it means the school year is almost over.” The spring season is closer to summer; therefore, it makes sense to look forward to the end of the year.

Kevin DeLacy, also a sophomore in the Emerald Academy, said he liked spring because it meant he could stop freezing.  During spring, the weather changes from cold and windy to warm and sunny.  Many people look forward to spring for this reason.

Ms. Plummer, an English teacher in the Emerald Academy, said she likes spring because her birthday is in it.  This year, it is coincidentally the same as Easter.

Alicia Dawdani, an Emerald Academy sophomore, does not like spring as much.  She said she dislikes spring because it brings out her allergies.  The pollen in spring irritates the nose during spring, resulting in allergies.

There are many other ways that makes spring unique.  The season is mostly associated with plants and nature.  It is when some animals come out of hibernation and join the world. 

Some holidays and events happen in spring.  Easter, a religious holiday in Christianity, takes place usually in April.  Christians celebrate when Jesus Christ rose from the dead.  Other ways of celebrating Easter include Easter bunnies and egg hunts.  There are more holidays in spring including Mother’s Day and Memorial Day are in May.

Spring Break is a big event where schools close for a week.  It’s a time for some rest and vacation.  Mr. Seymore, a teacher at Ridley High School, takes trips with some students to faraway places like Costa Rica during Spring Break.

Spring also means it is time for spring sports.  Athletes look forward to this time of year because they are finally able to play their favorite sport.  Some sports include baseball, softball, golf, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, and track.

Spring is about a myriad of events.  From gardening and animals, to Spring Break and spring sports, spring is a season that springs right into our lives.
