Brookvale Skiing – Drivers needed!

Mrs. Allie Devries — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:00:53 +0000

Good morning,

The permission slip that went home for skiing did not have a space for parents to indicate if they are able to drive for this trip on Friday. The high school students take a bus, but elementary students need parent volunteers to transport us to Brookvale and back. Could you email me at adevries@gracechristianschool.ca if you are planning on coming, and how many students, including your own children, that you are able to transport. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Also, remember to ensure that your children come with an extra large lunch, snacks, and water bottles to keep them going for the day. There is a canteen on the premises.

Thank you,

Mrs. Devries
