Ski PE Day (K-HS)
To help us get ready for ski day for students in kindergarten through HS, please fill out this questionnaire as soon as possible.
The questionnaire is for ability levels as well as drivers and volunteers.
Mission Ridge has not yet added the info below to their website yet, but since we are going into break, we want you to have it for when they do set it up.
We also need you to register your student(s) online with Mission Ridge by doing the following:
1. Go to missionridge.com. In the top right corner, click on the “store” icon.
2. Scroll down until you find the “Ski PE Check In” – at the bottom
3. Once clicked into there, you will create an account for each student and one adult (to be the purchaser, even though there is no cost). If you signed up in the past, you may already have an account.
4. You will add the “Check In” to your cart
5. Select “Check out”. Make sure to click the correct day that they will be visiting (Jan. 16)
6. If you are purchasing a ski pass for the day to ski with students, also sign yourself up (not needed if you have your own ski pass).
Contact the school office with any questions.

“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”
-Luke 2:8-20
