During a swim therapy session Monday afternoon at the Bonner Springs Family YMCA, Basehor Elementary School second-grader Jackson Oberndorfer flashes a smile at his instructor, Debby King. Jackson swims with King for three one-hour sessions per week as he rebuilds his coordination after the brain surgery he had three months ago.

Point of View
What’s the best way to spend a snow day?
Shovel your driveway and paths, check neighbors’ driveways and then grab all your closest little ones and find the biggest sledding hill. Snowmen also are a must. Snow days are a great time to catch up on missed shows and much-needed rest. I love snowdays, they haven’t changed one bit even as an adult, although I am sure not all working adults can say that, but I am happy I can. I was excited to see the snowmen and other snow sculptures throughout the Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas.
