Skates and Helmets: If any student in Grade 1-3 does not have skates for the school skate scheduled for Friday, January 22^nd, please call the office and we will see if we have sizes available.  The school has only 3 extra helmets here, so please don’t assume we will have one for your child on that day - check first.  If you have extra skates or helmets at home and would be willing to make them available to the school, please let us know or drop them off.  Parents are also welcome to come along and skate and/or help tie skates.  Thanks.
