Reminders:
1. Practise those times tables!
2. Read, read, read, read, read, read....
3. We're slated to begin our downhill ski program tomorrow. Please ensure that your child has appropriate clothes, including ski pants and warm mitts (preferably waterproof ones.) It's often sunny at the hill, so you may want your child to use sunscreen, but please apply this at home. Your child will need a lunch. We'll eat at 11:30 and will board the bus around 12:00. Food and drinks are not allowed on the bus and the students are not allowed to bring money to spend at the hill - sorry. We should return between 3:30 and 3:45. Thanks to the parents who will be volunteering tomorrow - we appreciate your help!

Thanks to all the parents who volunteered to help out with the ski program. Just a quick reminder that our class skis March 11, 12, and 13. We eat lunch at school at 11:30, board the bus at noon, and are usually back at the school between 3:30 and 3:45. (Students will be reminded that no food or drinks are allowed on the bus.) I'll send a note home later this week regarding the ski sessions - they should be fun!
