Practice this week:

Tuesday 2/15: Penguins Classic, Everyone else Skate

Penguins will do a special Valentine’s Day themed activity!

Jack Rabbits, Arctic Foxes & Racers:  It’s time for the Mini-marathon! How many k’s can you ski during our practice?  We will be skiing, skiing, skiing with stops only for water and a snack!  We will warm up and get organized from 3:45 to 4 and start all together at 4 pm.

• I need a couple of parents dressed warmly to help with the lap counting and snack table! Please email me (sheacobb19@gmail.com) if you can help!
• Each child should bring a water bottle LABELLED  with their name so they can get a drink when they need to. They can put it in the snow by the card table and fence.
• We open up a snack table about half way through the marathon.  This year, I’d like to limit it to pre-packaged granola or sports bars so that we don’t share germs. It would be great if some parents would donate some boxes of bars for the snack table. Thanks!

Thursday 2/17: Classic

Right now the weather is forecasted to be 50 degrees F and raining. The Range sometimes closes on days like this, so be sure to check the website before you leave!  If we ski, wear a raincoat and if you have waxable skis, get ready to put on some klister!

• We need some parents to help with Jack Rabbits 2- Peter Vile’s group- today. Email Rosemary (sheacobb19@gmail.com) if you can help!
