Moretown's Ski/Ride and SnowShoe Program Begins

The Moretown School PTN's winter sports opportunity, under the direction of Pam Nelson, is proud to announce the beginning of our second annual Sugarbush Ski, Ride and Snowshoe program.  The PTN has worked to support this year's program through both our wreath and flat bread sales.   We are planning  a great winter program with perfect conditions (we paid extra for this)   The program will occur on the following dates:  January 10, 17, 24, 31, Feb 7 and 14 (Tuesdays)  Ski equipment can be dropped off prior to the school day and placed under our main entrance porch.  Hot school lunches on ski days will be a bagged lunch so our students can eat and get ready in their classrooms.  Please contact Pam Nelson at pamelabatesnelson@gmail.com for questions.  We can't wait.
