The 6th - 8th grade Student Council Dance is planned for Friday, January 26th and the theme will be… Western! We welcome you to wear your best boots, cowboy hats, bandanas, and Western apparel! We can’t wait to see you there! (don’t worry… the music won’t match the theme and you don’t have to dress up to attend!)
Hats Off For Helmets!
Win a season pass to Mountain Creek, or a Zuke Board Shield for the 2024-2025 season!
How? Take the lead and create a Ski/Snowboard Helmet Logo that will inspire everyone to use a helmet when you ride or ski! All entries must be received by March 1
