Fifth Grade Trip

5th Grade Ski Trip

By Claire and Macy

It was January 12, 2017. The bus drove into the Hidden Ski Valley parking lot. 5th grade classes from Glenridge Elementary School and Captain Elementary School were going skiing. The schools were going because of their annual P.E. field trip that they went on every year. Some of the kids were very nervous while others were as excited as they ever had been.  

First, they got their skis and boots. Then, they went outside for ski school. When they were done with ski school they got to ski wherever they wanted to. Some went to the chairlift while others went to the rope tow. Some even went to the Black Diamond! After a little while they got called in to lunch. They got their lunch and sat down with friends to talk about skiing and other things. Once lunch was over everyone went back outside to ski. Ski school closed so everyone was free to do what they wanted. Some people went in pairs, some people went in groups and some people went by themselves. “ It was really fun!” says Madeline. At the end of the day when everyone was getting back on the bus they were all exhausted. But that did not stop them from talking… talking and singing the whole way home.
