Once again this year we will be organizing a Ski club for middle level students at Forest Hills School. This program runs for six weeks each year and is sponsored by the Poley Mountain After School Ski Program.
The program begins on January 15, 2009 and is open to all middle level students. The cost for the six week program is $150.00. This fee includes return transportation from FHS to Poley Mountain, equipment rental and ski lessons. All fees are due before December 17, 2008.
Parent Volunteers ski for free. Teacher supervisors travel with the students to and from the ski hill.
The cost is based on a minimum of 30 students participating and may increase if we have fewer than 30 students interested.
If your child is interested, listen to morning announcements for a student meeting which will be held in mid November.
If you have any further questions about our Ski Club, please do not hesitate to contact the school administration or Mr. A. Fequet who is the program supervisor.
