This year we are offering a Ski Alternative Program for TES kids who are not participating in the Ski/Snowboard Friday program.
Kids may choose to go home instead of participating in this program but this is an option for kids who will be staying at school for the remainder of the school day on Ski/Snowboard Fridays.
This program will be held at Thetford Elementary School (only for TES students) from 12noon to 2:45pm at which point students need to be picked-up.
The program will have a relaxed environment. A couple of volunteers will be on hand to oversee the safety and enjoyment of kids who will be at TES during this time.
Within the noon-2:45 span of time,
Thetford Rec will come to do an activity with kids who would like to participate. If kids want to continue to do the other unstructured activities (books, coloring, games, puzzles etc), they may. Participants may also bring (TES appropriate) activities to do in this time range such as their own books, coloring items, games and small toys that must be kept in backpacks until the start of this program.Please have children bring in an afternoon nut-free snack and a water bottle.Thetford Rec is going to be visiting TES on each Ski Alt day and doing the following activities with students who wish to participate. A different activity will be offered on each Ski Alt day. The activities are not shown in any particular order.:
-
Starch Stick-together Eco-Styrofoam building- endless possibilities
-
Legos - optional Lego challenges and TONS of Legos available to build anything with along with an adult who loves Legos and is ready to help out!
