Students Acquire A Skill For Skiing!

Seventy-one Junior High students took to the slopes at the Grand Geneva Resort, Friday night for an evening of skiing.  After many of the students took ski lessons they were on their own, swishing downhill and feeling the cold, brisk air on their faces.  Students were able to warm up in the lodge with hot chocolate, hamburgers, and nachos.  A good time was had by all.
