The group will be limited to 20 students and there are special requirements for the program. Please make sure to pay special attention to the cover sheet on the permission slip.

Cross Country Ski Helpers

Anne Love is our returning after-school cross country ski coach and she is looking for a helper who is experienced with sizing to help size kids next month in preparation for beginning the ski program.

We are hoping to start our Skiing program on Mondays after Winter Break. We also need parent helpers every Monday once the ski program starts. How many helpers we have will determine how many skiers we can have. You must be a KPBSD approved volunteer to help. Please contact Anne at alove@kpbsd.k12.ak.us or call the school office.
