Roller Skating - March 19, 2010

We’re going roller skating!  Students are going skating with Mrs. Baxter and support staff personnel on Friday, March 19^th.  This is a gift of time for classroom teachers, who will be staying back at school to work on report cards and end-of-quarter data.  Kindergarten, first graders, and second graders will skate in the morning (9:15 - 10:35AM) and third, fourth, and fifth graders will skate in the afternoon (12:15-1:35 PM).  There is no cost to students for this trip.  Students may bring their own roller skates or blades and money for concessions, if desired.  Parents are welcome to meet us at Skate Park to help supervise or skate with students.  If parents wish to skate, skate rental is $2.75 per person.   Hope to see you there!
