| Lending A Hand... |
|
Sometimes life circumstances take us on paths unexpected. At those times, there are few things as important as making sure that the affected person and their family are well supported. We have come together in large and small ways in past years to help support those in our community who need it. It is in that spirit that we share the following update about MFCS mom, Liza Oppenheim.
Last year, Liza and her family turned to our community for support as Liza struggled to recover from a first, then a second liver transplant. While she had made some strides since last spring, she is now back in crisis, and awaiting a 3rd transplant. This week, the family sent out
another appeal via their Go Fund Me website to help offset the enormous costs they face in seeking care for Liza. In that appeal,
Liza's mom, Judy, wrote:
You have all been so generous and the outpouring of kindness and support has been overwhelming for all of us. If you can find it in your heart to help Liza and her family a little bit more we would all be extremely grateful, but know that whatever you've done up to now has been greatly appreciated and we are profoundly grateful for your help.
If you feel you are able to lend a hand, they ask that you go to:
http://www.gofundme.com.
Once there, type in Liza's New Liver.
On Liza's page, look for the button that says Updates 3 -for more information. Thank you.

Ski Club

Lesson Sessions: Every Tuesday for 5 weeks beginning Jan 3rd, 4pm - 6pm.
Registration: Open through
Dec 15
th and done through the McIntyre website only.
Keep Anastasia Informed:
Once you have registered please send an email to our Parent Coordinator, Anastasia Frew, at
[email protected], so she can track Club participants.
One-way busing from MFCS to McIntyre will be provided at a cost of $31 for the season and is required of all children participating in the 4pm lesson. The cost will go
down depending on the number of children participating.
Kindergarteners can participate
in lessons on Tuesdays from 12:30-1:30, however parents will be responsible for transportation!
If your kinder is close to being 6 and has skied before they are welcome to register for the Mighty Mac's at 4pm. McIntyre has a no refund policy if the child fizzles out after an hour or decides they don't like the program!
**Kinder parents of each participating child will be required to be there for the whole session each week.**
Parent chaperones are key to the success of this program.
Each week, we require one parent here at school to get the kids ready. A parent must also ride the bus with the children. At the mountain, we require 2-3 chaperones - some in the lodge and some on the mountain. Chaperones can ski for free during the lessons as they monitor the children on the mountain.
See you on the slopes!
