Winter Sports Closing Ceremony
And just like that Winter Sports 2022 is over. These past 5 weeks have flown by. Judging by the happy (and tired) students that emerged from the buses each week it appears that fun was had by all.
Our gratitude to everyone who made Winter Sports possible.
There is nothing quite like the panic of missing snow-pants, a broken clasp on a helmet, or the confusion of 4 sets of skis that all look alike and the label has rubbed off. However, and whatever the new challenge was, the buzz and excitement of the students made it all worthwhile. Thank you to all the staff and parent volunteers who made each week possible.
Transporting eighty plus students, with gear and equipment, is no small feat. It required a great deal of preparation, practice, and patience. Our gratitude to Sabine for her time and effort to organize people, places and things. Heartfelt gratitude also to all the chaperones, staff and parents alike, who accompanied the students each week. Your support was invaluable.
Winter Sports challenged the students in so many ways. They had to step out of their regular school day schedule with several tricky transitions from eating lunch earlier, changing into proper clothing and gear, keeping track of gear and bags, moving to and from buses, meeting up and working with different groups of peers and instructors, developing new skills, and so much more. They met that challenge. We thank the students for being respectful and responsible and for helping peers in need.

Lastly, but by no means least, we are grateful to the instructors at Snowbird. They made learning new techniques possible and helped many students step out of their comfort zone to overcome fears or frustrations. Our gratitude to Snowbird ski and snowboarding instructors for making lessons safe and fun!
