I hope you had a wonderful day! Tomorrow is day 2 (Technology). Bring in devices tomorrow and ski form and waivers are due tomorrow.
Our next extra-curricular activity is skiing/snowboarding at Glen Eden Ski Resort. The dates of the trip are January 22, February 19 and March 4. We will be leaving at 7:00 AM and returning by 4:00 PM at the latest. All rentals are included, however students are more than welcome to bring their own. Please do not order hot lunch for these days as we will be eating lunch at the ski hill – students are welcome to bring money to purchase food and drink items. Students must ensure they are dressed in appropriate ski gear; warm socks, long johns with comfy clothes, snow pants, warm mitts, a face protector and a ski jacket. Please note that if students chose skiing, they will ski all three times. If students pick snowboarding, they will snowboard all three times. All students will have to pass each level before they are granted permission to ski on the big hill, no matter what their experience. Permission forms and waivers are due back no later than tomorrow. Please thoroughly complete all forms before returning.

Candy Grams will be available for sale in the upper school cafeteria before school and after school, as well as from 12:20-1:00 all this week.
