The GIS Rockwall
Our newest GIS feature is a challenge by choice. Both Mr. Foster and I have received questions about whether kids must participate, and the simple answer is no, of course not. However, if kids want to experiment with getting on the wall, even just the first holds- they will be supported and celebrated.
Ski and Ride Note
Lindsay Lundquist sent out this note on Friday
Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great time on Tuesday despite the chaos and lesson mix up. Thank you to all the amazing chaperones, we couldn't do this without all of you! Unfortunately I have some bad news about next week. I spoke with Bolton and they are unable to offer us formal lessons for any level of skiing or snowboarding on 2/20. However, they have assured me that lessons for all levels for both ski and snowboarding will be available for the last 3 trips in March. Due to this new information, unfortunately we will not be able to allow on the trip any Level 1 ski or snowboard students that do not have a parent/adult chaperone accompanying them (this applies only to the trip on 2/20). I am so sorry as this was out of our hands, and the decision has been made with the safety of your kids in mind. We will welcome them back on 3/5 which is the Tuesday after winter break.
If you are unsure which level you signed for you student(s) up for, please reach out to Mrs. H.
