Mt Seymour Family Ski Day

It is that time of year when we begin planning our Grade 2-8 Family Ski Day. Please find the school information form here. There is also a Mt. Seymour form that must be picked up from the office. Completed forms and cheques are due back in the office this Friday (November 29th). Please contact Mrs. Olding (lolding@hopelcs.ca) if you have any questions. * If you have a child in Kindergarten or Grade 1 who would like to attend, you must contact Mt. Seymour yourself to inquire about private lessons or have them ski with you for the day, as Seymour cannot accommodate these ages in the school ski program.
