Editing Winter Term 2007

'''Winter Term 2007''' was part of the [[2006-2007]] school year, running from January 2 to March 11, 2007.

This was a term full of floods, ice storms, and very cold weather. Like many winter terms at Knox, students are stressed out, too cold to go out, and sick with the flu.
