The MYP students had an excellent time on the trails and slopes at Manning Park this week. On Sunday and Monday, they all hit the slopes for some lessons and practice in downhill skiing and snowboarding. Sunday was quite cold (-18° C with the wind chill), but Monday was considerably warmer as there was no wind and lots of sun. The snow was dry and a little hard-packed but the slopes were nearly empty. On Tuesday, the students had freshly fallen snow on the trails for their cross-country skiing lessons.
When they weren't on the slopes or the trails, they were all having fun at the resort pool or at the outdoor skating rink. All the students took turns at cooking, cleaning, and other chores while staying together at the "Last Resort". Thanks go to parent volunteers Marie and Francis who helped tremendously both at the lodge and with the skiing. We look forward to continuing this annual Brockton tradition next year!
