X Country Trip Tuesday and Student Leds

Just a reminder, and a heads up regarding our trip this Tuesday.  For those who don't recall, we had a trip to cross country ski that had to be cancelled due to a freezing rain bus cancellation (it was a board level cancellation that kind of took it out of our hands).  Luckily we had a rain date on the form we sent home, which allows us to go this Tuesday, February 28th, for our planned xcountry ski.  Now, though I realise that the trials deep in the Gatineaus are still being travelled, the SJAM is not at its best after the past week or two of warm and rain.  This being said, Dave assures us that he might be able to groom some untouched areas to prepare a space for us.  We will be making the skiing decision later on Monday. after we talk with Dave, and the people who were giving us the lessons.  
Our idea is to make use of the date no matter what.  If no skiing can be done, we are going to use the opportunity to do a trek down to, and along, the same stretch of area.  We will be flexible, and possibly try to encorporate some other activities into the trip, but since we have forms to allow us to get out for a walk, and spend some time along the trail, we are planning to go, even if we can't make the skiing work. 
This would be the best case situation, but we will make the best of it.  Please let me know if you can make it to volunteer on Tuesday.  It will be happening, in one form, or another.  I will send more information tomorrow when we make our final decisions.
In the event of a cancelled ski portion of the trip, we will retain the funds that were collected for the skiiing, and book an alternate trip, minus the $5,50 that we collected from each student.
STUDENT LEDS
This is the time of year that we traditionally invite families in to see what has been happening in Room 211.  I have included a link below to the Student Led Conference Schedule.  Please take a look, at it, and sign up wherever you might be able to make it in.  There are before, during, and after school time slots.  If none of these work for you, please let me know and we can try to make other arrangements.
