On Friday, March 8th, our school will all be heading to the St. Margarets Bay Arena to skate.  We have divided our classes into two groups and times in the morning to attend the skate to accommodate the space.  The school will be covering the full cost of the busses and cost of skating.

The classes have been divided in the following groupings for the skate:

10:00 am to 11:00 am

• 2 Siscoe

• 2 Gouthro                 SMITH ICE

• 2 Tonner

• 2/3 Cross
   

• 3 Meisner

• 3/4 Mracic                FOUNTAIN ICE

• 3/4 Marsh

• 3/4 Huskilson

11:15 am to 12:15 pm

• 3/4 Nicholl

• 4 Burchell                  SMITH ICE

• 4/5 MacDonald

• 4/5 O’Neill
   

• 5 Smith

• 5 O’Brien                  FOUNTAIN ICE

• 5 Smart

We are asking families who need skates and/or helmet to borrow and families who may be able to loan skates and/or helmets to the school to please reply to this email tantallon@hrce.ca to let me know what size of skate and/or helmet you need/can loan for the skate.   We will keep track here at the school and make sure all equipment is returned to you.

We are hoping to have lots of chaperones to come and watch their children skate, maybe take part on the ice with them, and to help us tie some skates.  Please make sure your checks are done if you want to come and chaperone…if you need a Criminal Record Check, contact Sarah Morris and she can send you a link to do it online for $30 rather than $50.  For students who will not be skating that day, they will be coming on the trip with us and there will be an activity that they can do.  All students and adults who skate at the SMC require a helmet to wear.

Busses will be provided for our students to get there and back.  There will be a few more details to come but I wanted to get this out as soon as possible to help everyone get organized.

We look forward to taking our students skating and hope that many of you can be there as well to enjoy…and tie a few skates !
