Last Friday was the conclusion of our ski program for this year. I want to say a huge thank you to Betsy Griffith and all of the parent volunteers who make this program possible. With the amount of work involved, I'm sure this program would not be nearly as successful without their help. Personally, I've been pleased to have the ability to brush up on my skiing skills, and see the kids on the slopes, some testing the waters for the first time, some who've grown up on the slopes. I know my mom has also really enjoyed getting back into skiing (Hi Mom!).
Today we had the 39th annual Pinecrest Invitational. It was great to see the teachers from Pinecrest and parents from both Twain Harte and Pinecrest. There was some spirited friendly teasing between the parents from the two camps. The kids all did well, and congratulations to Pinecrest Elementary for taking the overall title once again.
An interesting side note, after the competition concluded, I hit the slopes with some of the kids, and we skied until the lifts closed at 4:00. I then drove several of the boys home, and I was heading by school, I saw our 8th grade volleyball game was still going on, so I popped in for a few minutes. It was great to see 4 of the girls who competed at the ski tournament playing on our volleyball team! Oh to have that much energy still!
