Intermediate Ski Trip

Our annual ski trip is coming up and I wanted to send out some information to help you prepare for the event before the Christmas vacation hit us. Our ski trip is going to be on Friday, February 7th at Manning Park. This is always an exciting trip and the students look forward to hitting the ski hills and having some fun.

The registration happens in two parts: an online registration and the payment portion. To help with understanding the process, I have sent home detailed instructions containing all the information you will need to know in order to begin registration.

The online registration begins December 9 and will be open until the 18th of December. Ski trip payments can be made January 8th and 9th. We will have tables set up in the school lobby to facilitate payments for the trip. The online portion must be completed prior to the payment dates. Also note that if you are going to be coming with the school group, you will need to have your criminal records check up-to-date in order to come with us. You can check with the office as to how to best complete the records check.

If you have any questions, you can contact myself or Mr. Hancock.

Science Conversations:  Your child brought home some “Science homework” – which is signing a booklet and having some family conversations around garbage.  Please take time to look over and sign the booklet this weekend, and start some conversations with your family around the topic of garbage (there are guiding questions in the booklet).  The booklets need to be returned on Monday.

Food Drive – please keep sending in the macaroni and cheese this week!

Bible Memory Verse –  The new passage went home and is also on the blog.
