Hi Moretown Families

This Tuesday 1/25 is the start of our Winter Sports Program!  Hooray!

Reminders what parents need to do that day
1- pack your kids with boots and helmet and goggles
2- make sure they are wearing fleece/ synthetic clothes/ long underwear.  No cotton please!  Cotton gets wet with sweat then freezes making you miserable.
3- Make sure they have knee high synthetic/ wool socks!
4- Drop labeled ski/ snowboard/ poles out in front of the school and pick them up at the end of the day (except for snowmotion families- we have your kids skis/ boards)
5- IF your child has a sugarbush pass, please have them bring it.
6- update pick up patrol by 9:30am on Tuesday if they are staying at the mountain- and with whom.

Please review the ski program info in the attachment below for other details
Email us at moretownskiprogram@gmail.com with any questions!

Thanks! Hannah Flynn and Ashleigh Bergstrom
