Mrs.Hoffman, who fortunately was driving kids who missed the bus to Hidden Valley, so I rode with her. when we got there I was  given a sticker to show that I was with glenridge. we got our boots and skis, and went outside. we were trained on how to use skis and I fell quite a lot of times. then they let us go to do what we want. I went on the yellow badge chair lift   and we left after being there for 4 hours. we went back to glenridge and went home.

Ski Time by Seraphina

 Ski time!

    On Thursday we went to hidden valley, which are ski slopes about an hour away from our school! All three Clayton schools went, including us! My favorite part was going on the ski lift and skiing down the bunny slope. It was a lot of fun! The hart part about using the ski lift was getting off, we had to be fast enough to ski off the lift, and not have the seat bump us on the butt. That was my problem. On the very last time I went on the ski lift I managed to get off without falling, but I was unaware that I got off to early, and the seat I was sitting in bumped me really, really hard in the butt. Which sent me flying into the artificial snow! If you have skied before, you would know how hard it is to get up once you have fallen. Yes, really hard, I fell so many times, which resulted in me having to get up so many times as well. That part of it was very unpleasant. Another thing I really enjoyed was going on the rope tow. A rope tow is something you grab onto, and it pulls you up to the top of the hill. It takes you really, really fast up the hill and so many people fell off because of this. Also, lunch was amazing. Eating one slice of pizza and an ice cold drink of Hi-C is the best thing in the world after you ski! Skiing is awesome, (and hard)!

Instead of going to Hidden Valley, I just stayed at school and helped 4th grade. I usually stay at school to help classes every year when there is a field trip. In 3rd grade I stayed and helped 1st grade instead of going to Meramec Caverns. And last year in 4th grade, I stayed and helped 1st grade again instead of going to Jefferson City. Yesterday, I just helped Mrs. Hallan's class. But since nobody needed help, I just did some math, read my book and worked on Social Studies Homework. I basically had to go to specials with them, go to recess with them, and well, did everything that they did. It was a little weird because people might have been scared of me just because I am a 5th grader, but really, they should not be scared of me at all! It just could have been I was taller than a lot of them, but still! I hoped that they liked me and I would be happy to do it again any time.

I wonder if next year, you have to go to the field trips?

We went on a ski trip and it was really fun. The only really boring thing was that people got to go on the ski lift but I did not. People Were sneaking on to the ski lift but I did not and that was good. The food was so good also it was horrible because we got one lazy piece of pizza and baby carrots that is not a lot of food for me. The ski trip was kinda dangerous people who did not know how to ski ran into people like me. It was my first time skiing but we went back so I could actually have more fun on the ski lift.

Hello my name is Mitchell and 5th grade and I went to hidden valley on January 14. I'm going to talk about the trip. So the ride there was probably the least exciting thing but the ride was pretty awesome so if that tells you anything, the skiing was pretty awesome. The ride was awesome because everyone was so excited to go skiing. Some people were so excited that they where there helmets and goggles on the ride. as soon as we got there meramac was there so we sat at some empty tables in the hidden valley loge and talked until we had to watch a safety instruction video. After that was done we went into this HUGE warehouse that had tons of snow board/skiing boots and polls and skies and snowboards. Oh my! So we got are skis and we hit the slopes. there were 7 stations. 1.was getting on and off your skis. 2.waslearning what to do if you fall. 3.was the worst station where you would climb up a hill and it took so long and was so frustrating. 4 5 and 6 and 7 were about how to stop, turn and the magic carpet. Lunch was the best thing you've ever tasted in your whole entire life because you've been skiing all day and you are very hungry. My advice is eat slowly it will last longer. So after the 7 stations you can either take the biggener lift or if you are experienced skier than you can go on the big slopes. I went on the biggener chairlift a couple thousand times

Hidden Valley Ski Lunch

THE SKI LUNCH By:Drake

The ski lunch is probably

the best school lunch you've ever had so let me tell you about it. So it first starts out with you coming in at 11:15 exclusively for Glenridge school Starving and thirsty for a pizza and soda and it's of your choice of anything you want to have from that soda machine  and a really good thick crust cheese pizza and some baby carrots.Then you get to sit down by anyone with (only glenridge students) and have a blast. And when you're done you dismiss yourself to go back outside to go skiing.

The Ski Trip  By Ken

Today was Thursday, 5th grade was going to Hidden Valley. I couldn’t wait it was my 1st time skiing!, Mermac was coming. So was Captain. When we got to Hidden Valley, we into a building, I sat beside Robert. The 5th graders watched a safety video. After that we went into a stinky warehouse, “It stinks” Devon commented. Then we listened to one of the staff. I went to get my ski boots. Then I had to wait in a line forever, I got my ski’s. Than I went through the stations it was lunchtime when I got to the Magic carpet. Then I went back, it took me forever to get to station7. It took me 3 tries to get to the “Falling hills” That’s what I call the skiing hills, because I falled like 6 times. I went down the small hill 2 times. I also went on the lift 2 times which was awesome! The Rope till was very fast so I fell 3 times. I went with Devon on the lift. When we had to leave I was kind of sad, because I wanted to ski way more. I wish I could stay behind and ski more. When we got back to Glenridge. I wanted to go home, but I had to go to GCC.
