This week continued to bring a mixture of winter, spring and mud seasons! We hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you for your volunteer support this year with either nordic skiing, downhill skiing, snowboarding - or a combination of the three! If you have a moment, we would appreciate your feedback so we can improve programming for next year. The google survey can be found here.
Outdoor learning was once again in the snow this week, and these Menz/Kennedy second graders had quite a time!
PE News
We wrapped up our gymnastics unit this week. It was so awesome to see how brave the students were in working on some new and challenging skills.
Next week we will dabble a little in tennis skills.
