NORTH PENN HIGH SCHOOL SKI & BOARD CLUB

OBEY SKI PATROL AT ALL TIMES!

Parents, please talk with your son or daughter about what level at which he or ski should ski. Agree ahead of time on what slopes your student may ski. As chaperones will not be able to ski with all 44 students at once, so making the right choices on the slopes will ultimately be up to him or her. Do NOT ski alone! The Ski & Board Club presented a safety clinic at its second meeting, so club members should know how to classify themselves as skiers. Parents, please raise the issue with your students before the trip!

However, at the inn…

Please continue to help out the North Penn Ski & Board Club! We have room for up to 8 more students (or their parents) to fill all the hotel rooms we’ve reserved for this incredible trip. If you know any students who might be interested, please see Mr. Swindells in A-011.
