FBI - Ice Skating

On January 17th, Pre-K families were invited to the Simek Center for a morning of ice skating!  This year was the first time we have tried the ice skating workshop!  We had a nice turn out and the kids seemed to enjoy themselves!  Even parents and grandparents got out onto the ice!  Some had mentioned that they hadn't ice skated since high school.  Many families enjoyed hot chocolate or a slushy from the concession stands afterwards!  Here are a few pictures of families that attended.

Dominick and Mason tried ice skating for the first time!

Cash showed us a lot of his ice skating moves!  He was very brave on the ice.
