Students at the Winter Sports School came back to class Monday after a week off. While they were gone, one of their classmates, Sam Jackenthal, suffered a head injury in Australia. One of the first things the students did was send a positive message to their friend. KPCW’s Renai Bodley has the story.
From Team Park City United:
