Roller Skating News!

January 9, 2008

Dear Parents,

We will again be skating in p.e. class during the two weeks in February after Catholic Schools Week.  We have had 100% participation and we look forward to that again this year.  Please fill out the permission slip and indicate the skate size for each of your children.  Listed below are answers to frequently asked questions. For safety and insurance purposes, you may NOT bring your own skates.

This year, we will only be using inline skates.  We have found thatthe children are much more successful on “inlines”.

Inline Roces skates (J13-Adult 15) are available for $8.00.

If your child wears a smaller size than J13 please order J13.

Use only whole size skates.

       Boys use the same size (if a half size, round up).

       Girls go down one size (if a half size, round down.)

       Wrist guards are provided, but you may supply your own wrist

               guards as well as helmets, knee pads, etc.

 Because of our new wood floor, knee pads will also be provided by

 Skatetime.  Students could use volleyball knee pads if they

 want to.           

PLEASE include your child’s classroom on the form.                

PLEASE make checks payable to St. Thomas the Apostle School.

You may write one check, but you need individual permission slips.

PLEASE help us out by returning all the permission slips and checks by Friday, January 18, 2008.

Thank you for your help.  We are looking forward to a fun two weeks of skating.  

Please consider helping with grades K-1-2-3.         

                       Mrs. Rauch
