POMPANO BEACH | While the rest of the country began to thaw out from the effects of the polar vortex, students, teachers and parents at St. Coleman School played in mountains of manufactured snow Feb. 1.
The scheduled Frozen Friday marked the end of the Catholic Schools Week celebration at St. Coleman but principal Lori St. Thomas threw a frozen curve ball at the day, surprising her students with more than a paean to the Disney movie. She arranged for a manufactured snow play area and staged winter activities in the school's outdoor gymnasium.
St. Thomas said the parents association and faculty facilitated the fun day for the students, many of whom have never played in real snow.
