SKATING IN GYM CLASS
Next week we will be skating in gym class! All students will need helmets, bring a long pair of socks and skates. No skates or helmets no – problem as I have skates and helmets for the students to borrow. However, if you have your own bike helmet please bring to wear. We need small Fisher Price shoe skates for my beginner skaters and large size blades for my older students in size 9, 10, 11, or 12. If we could borrow as that would be great and I promise to take good care of and return. Thank you!
