For our students who are ice skating tomorrow, here are a few important things to remember.
- Please wear tall socks! This will prevent the skates from rubbing your legs.
- Wear layers! The ice rink will be cold.
- Concessions and a few arcade games will be available. Students may bring extra money if they wish to purchase food/drinks or play games.

We are leaving promptly at 8:30 a.m. Students need to be at school on time to eat breakfast and be ready for the trip.
