Ski Trip
By :Lily
Every year the fifth graders at Glenridge, Captain and Meramec take a skiing trip to hidden valley. This year it was our turn to go.  We got to school at 8 in the morning and then we got on to the bus right away. We were all so excited to go there. We waited on the bus just talking and talking until finally we were there. We got there got of the bus and went to the main room. That was where we got and attached our ticket  to our self. The teachers and volunteers gave us our forms so we could get our ski’s and we were off. They led us table by table to the room where the ski’s and boots were and we got our lockers situated and then listened to one of the staff members talk about the process. Next they dismissed us to get our ski boots. We got to go pick them out and then we brought them back to the seats so we could get help putting them on. Once we were done we got our form and brought it to the ski line where we waited and waited and waited until we were at the front of the line. When we were there we handed them the ski form, they took it and they used it to get our ski’s. When they got them they handed them to us and we took them out to station 1 at skills camp. there were 7 stations you had to complete before you could ski and when you completed them you were allowed to ski wherever you wanted. Overall the trip was really awesome and I loved it . It was a great way to reunite with and make new friends.

THE BEST SCHOOL DAY EVER

THE BEST SCHOOL DAY EVER

Hidden valley was A very fun day because we got to ski. I liked this because I am good and so is my friend so we could go and ski together. I also liked it because could teach some of my other friends how to ski.

First I had to go through ski school I did not like because I knew how to do everything they were doing. I got out of there as fast as I could. I was trying to find my friends but I could not see him there were so many people there but finally I saw him. I had almost missed  him after we met up we started to ski. He was so we all skied together. hidden valley was the best day I have ever had in school.

Ski School

The ski school was fun most of the time but station three was really hard for me because you are supposed to walk up hill when really all I was doing was going down hill. There was seven stations one was how to put on your skies, two and three was walking up hill, four was how to stop, five was the magic carpet, six was going down hill through cones, seven was going down an even steeper hill through cones. Once you were done with that you were free to ski!

The Wonderful Ski Trip Of Clayton

By: Iris

This Thursday the Clayton School District Fifth Graders went to Hidden Valley to Ski. The line for the equipment was very long it took forever for the me to get my skis and go. When I finally got out there I went through all the stations. My favorite was the last one where we went around the cones. My least favorite was the side step station because there was someone in front of me who was not side stepping but stepping on everybody’s skis stepping. And also it just took forever to get to the top because their was so many cones we had to sidestep past. But once I got past the stations I did the rope tow. The line takes forever to get past and once I got on it was really fun. The lift was super fun. But on one of the last times me and my friend Seraphina were going on the way there she fell, so I went to go help her, but at the same time I was unaware that there was a big pile up in front of me. Then when I turned around a girl who was trying to get into the line slipped and fell in front of me but I did not notice her so I slipped on her ski and feel down. Then I noticed the big pile up in front of me. There was a girl who was on the ground crying black tears because she had makeup on. And her friends were trying to help her but they were falling down and on top of that her ski’s were not coming off. And I couldn’t get up.  Then after that was over I went on the rope tow and fell off three times.
