GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
Although we didn’t get enough accumulation to build igloos or ride our quads, it was a scenic Saturday evening watching the snowfall last weekend. Unfortunately due to the rain and heavy winds on Tuesday, our first Ski Club meeting needed to be pushed back one week. We know the members are anxious to get on the bus and hit the slopes! Please remember that all skiers and snowboarders must have a helmet and goggles or they will not be able to participate.
Please take a moment to review a few important updates and reminders.
