Attention Outdoor Leadership students

Students in the Outdoor Leadership CTF Option with Mrs. Lowe:

Please come to school tomorrow (Wednesday) prepared to be outside for a snowshoe/walk to the coulee.  It is supposed to be a beautiful -5 and sunshine, so we are liven’ it up!

*Warm Boots, coats, hats and mitts are all required.  

*Snow pants, sunglasses and a dry pair of cozy socks for after we return to school are highly recommended!

We will bring our backpacks with lunches and sit-upons and eat outside. I will be bringing a camp stove and hot chocolate as well, so feel free to bring a non-breakable mug, but I will have several.  It is likely that the period will run into the first 15/20 minutes of lunch so I will let the lunchroom staff know they will be late (so no servery).  If  more time is needed, they can finish lunch in the classroom when we get back.

This also means we may not have time for the extra help group that meets on Wednesdays at lunch, but we can check the time when we get back.

One last thing... wear something pink.  You are becoming leaders in our school.  

Mrs. Lowe
