In House Skating Program during PE!
During May 6 - May 17, on your child's scheduled PE days he/she will be participating in an in-house skating program. Students may bring their own roller skates, rollerblades, and/or bike helmets from home if they prefer to use them, please do not go purchase these items as all will be provided. Helmets are not required but highly encouraged to bring if you have one.
Please make sure your child WEAR OR BRING SOCKS!!! Tall socks are the best (if possible) to help prevent the skates from rubbing on their legs and ankles.
We are so excited for this upcoming experience for our students. Coach Crawford and Coach Stapleton
