Skating Starts This Week!

Just a reminder to parents that skating starts on Tuesday, January 19th. Skating runs from Tuesday to Thursay for two weeks at the Bert Hunt. We will be leaving the school around 9:30 and will be on the ice at 10:00am.

We will be needing parents to tie and untie skates. Thank you to all who are coming, and if you are not, that is okay....I know that parents do work! Just a heads up that parents will not be permitted on the ice. It is best if students learn right away that it is okay to fall, and if they do, we will teach them how to get up on their own! We will have a skating instructor as well as myself and two instructional assistants, so children will be taken care of if there is a problem.

Please remember to send your child in appropriate clothing for these days - ski pants, mitts, etc. As well, bicycle helmets will not be permitted. If you do not have a skating helmet, the school does have a bag of helmets we will lend. On these days, please ensure your child's items are sent inside their backpacks as skates without guards have been known to damage the bus seats.
