Fall Break

The school will be closed for fall break next week beginning Wednesday, September 30, 2009, through Friday, October 2, 2009.  School will resume on Monday, October 5, 2009.  We hope that you will enjoy this time to spend with your friends and families.

Ski Trip

Start planning today to be a part of our annual ski trip to Cataloochee Ski Area this winter. The dates are Wednesday, January 6 through Friday, January 8, 2010.  Please fill out the attached interest form to help us plan.

For families joining us this year, the ski trip is a time for our families to get together.  Each child will need to have someone responsible for them while on the trip and the school will not be providing chaperones for the trip. This person will have to sign the rental agreement and liability forms.  You can visit the ski area’s website at www.cataloochee.com.  

Ski Area

The cost for skiing will be $93.00 again this year.  This will cover the ski rental, a group t-shirt, and lift ticket for all day Thursday and Friday.  If you would like to rent a snow board instead, the cost for the two day rental is $133.00 plus a $60.00 deposit. A $20.00 non-refundable deposit will be due shortly.  Also, once the final amount is due and submitted, the ski area will not issue us any refunds. 

Hotel

We have blocked 20 rooms at the Best Western Mountain Brook Inn in Maggie Valley.  This hotel is next door to the Microtel Inn that we stayed last year.  The rooms have been recently remodeled and are larger than last year’s.


Rates for January 6 through 8th will be $46.74 plus 12% tax per night.  Friday night will be slightly higher.  The deadline for securing the room is December 6, 2009.  Cancellation policy is one month before you arrive.  You will need to reserve the room with a credit card or send a deposit one month before you arrive or you room will be released. For more information about the Best Western Mountain Brook Inn, go to www.bestwestern.com and search for hotels in Maggie Valley.  Rooms are on a first come first served basis.
