Ski/Snowboard Club Tomorrow
As a reminder for students riding the bus to Mt.

Students will receive their lift tickets on the bus. Please make sure your child has a note informing their teacher they will be going to ski club after school.
Also, please note that the lesson times have been moved to give our students more time to get off the bus and get ready. The first lesson will now start at 4:00pm (instead of 3:30). The next two lesson times are 5:00pm and 6:00pm.
