FBI - Ice Skating

For January's Families Being Involved (FBI) event, we invited families to try out ice skating at the Simek Center in Medford.  What a fun experience!  Lots of kiddos were able to skate for the first time and many parents "sharpened" their ice skating skills.  :)

Thank you to all who were able to attend.

Elsie and her mom enjoyed skating with Lydia.  These girls come to school on different days but instantly made friends with each other!
