Nuts and Bolts

Welcome back and Happy New Year!
I have a few nuts and bolts to share with you:

Library- Because of the start of skiing, library will move to Thursday. After skiing, it will return to Friday afternoon.

Skiing- skis and poles should be labeled with your child's name and put out in front of the school on Friday morning. The kids and I have talked at length about packing a bag of their ski stuff to bring to school- snow pants, helmet, mittens, warm ski socks, neck gator, goggles, ski boots, hand warmers etc. all in the bag. If your child has a ski pass, that should come with them. If not, we will give them a ticket.
I recommend that they wear cozy clothes (long underwear or sweats, warm tops) to school to make the dressing for skiing easier.  Also, please make sure to send a note in telling us what your child will do after skiing- will you pick them up at the mountain after signing them out? Will they ride the bus back to school and then attend WASP? Or ride the bus home?
The first week of skiing is always a little  nerve wracking for the younger kids, but after they do it once, they are pros! I like to talk about it a lot and be as prepared as I can to make them feel better.

Drying Racks- do you have any clothes drying racks that you would be willing to donate to our class? I am hoping to get two racks to put on the stage for the snow gear after recess.
