Skiing — Anne Love will be the coach this year and she is looking for a helper who is experienced with sizing to help size kids next month in preparation for beginning the ski program.

The school is hoping to start the skiing program on Mondays or Wednesdays after Winter Break. The school also needs parent helpers once the ski program starts. How many helpers we have will determine how many skiers the program can have.

Please contact Anne at alove@kpbsd.k12.ak.us or call the school office.
