We go skating on Monday, February 26 from 1- 2 pm. If you have your own skates and helmet, please use them. If you don’t, we can use the ones at the rink at no cost. Parents and guardians who would like to come and skate with the class (and help ties skates, heh heh) are welcome to attend. All must wear helmets on the ice. I recommend that students bring coats, gloves or mitts. It does get a little cold.
Have a great weekend! Cheers!
