ICE SKATING:Please see the attached letter from Mr.Wyncoll for details on whole-school ice skating, which will be happening on December 2, 9, and 16. (As was communicated yesterday, there will be no skating on November 25.) Among other things, please note that “74 students require 74 seat-belted spots each week, so we would love parental participation (or lending of your vehicles).” Carla Kerr finds thisinteresting and welcomes your calls to the school office if you have time and/or vehicles to offer to the cause. Thank you.
Wheelchair seating in the church: Please note that we have made two spaces in the church where people in wheelchairs can sit. They are marked by small handicapped signs that are at the far ends of two short pews near the back, one on each side. There is also a padded chair to the outside of each reserved space where someone can sit right next to a person in a wheelchair. Please don’t slide the chairs over into the handicapped spaces (or else be sure to move them back after a service). Thank you.
