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.
