Good Afternoon!
Important Reminder: We will need a cheque for ski and board rentals by January 19, 2011. The cost for ski rentals, lift tickets, remainder of transportation and taxes will be $47.00 and snow boarding will be $55.50. Please make the cheque payable to Beautiful Savior Lutheran School. If cheques or cash are not received on or before Jan. 19 your student will not be able to attend the ski trip.
The bus will be leaving the school at 7:15 a.m. on Jan. 21 and returning at approximately 5:30 p.m. Students should arrive at the school for 7:05 a.m.
Students will be allowed to have Ipods, cameras, etc. but will be responsible for them. The school will take no responsibility for lost, stolen or broken personal electronics. I will allow students with cell phones to call their parents on the way home from the resort to let them know the exact time of our arrival at the school. If you have any questions, please let me know.
