Looking For A Few Good....Ski Trip Chaperones!

The 8th Grade Ski Trip is a parent-sponsored event and we need more parents to chaperone in order to make this a safe and fun day for the kids.

The date is Monday February 15, 2010 and the bus will depart from SJS at 7:15 a.m. for Wilmot Mountain in Wisconsin with an estimated time of arrival back at SJS at 7:00 p.m.

Here are some of the areas that we need chaperones (obviously you could fill in, in more than one area):

--4 parents to ride the bus to and from Wilmot.
--Several parents to drive and transport the kids gear (duffel bags, skis, snowboards, boots, etc.) for the day (the bus will be very crowded)
--Several parents who can ski or snowboard to help the kids with rental equipment, getting on and off of the chair lifts the first few times, etc. (A small quantity of complimentary lift tickets will be available and given to parents who volunteer to ski or snowboard that day).
--Several parents to stay in the lodge where we will setup our base "camp".

Remember: Siblings are welcome!

We need to ensure that the chaperones are in place before we commit our group to Wilmot and to the bus company and we need to do this quickly, as the date is fast approaching. Unfortunately without a sufficient amount of chaperones, the ski trip will be cancelled.

If you are interested in chaperoning the ski trip, please contact Bobbi Jo Walaszek (bobbijohome@comcast.net or 630-968-6128).

Thank you for your help!

P.S. The room moms would like to thank everyone who has volunteered thus far.
