Grade 5-8 Annual Ski Trip

We had a great day on the slopes at Wintergreen today! Our annual ski trip included close to 90 students, parents and staff. We were especially impressed by our beginner skiers today as they persevered through the morning and started zooming down the hill in the afternoon! We hope everyone had a wonderful day!
