Children and families took to the sledding hill at Mesa Ridge High School Tuesday morning following several inches of snow overnight and the announcement of a snow day for many of the area’s school districts. While some students still had e-learning scheduled for the day, they headed out with sleds, snowboards and winter clothes to enjoy a little bit of wintertime fun.
