Good Afternoon!
I hope everyone is surviving the cold snap we have been experiencing.
The ski trip went very well. The students all skied and enjoyed each others company. I hope no one is too sore and bruised. Thank you to Mr. B and Mr. Dickson for skiing with us. Holiday Mountain was ours exclusively because of the weather and this worked out perfectly as all of the staff lavished their attention solely on us. We had the run of the ski resort. It was great!!
