After School Cross Country Skiing: The school hopes to start the skiing program on Mondays after Winter Break. The school needs parent helpers every Monday once the ski program starts. To help, contact Joanna at jgreene@kpbsd.org or call the office.
There are currently have eight parent helpers so that means 40 students will be able to sign up for skiing. Permission slips should be returned to Laura in the office as soon as possible – first come, first served. The school needs a parent who can help with snack during skiing. This would be every Monday starting Jan. 8 and continuing until March 5 (weather dependent). Please contact Joanna at jgreene@kpbsd.org or call the school office if you can help with either of these things.
