Hello SCS Families,
The SCS PE Department here (Kelly Spreen, Jude Olson, Craig Macderment, Kate Groizer)!As we prepare for the upcoming winter, we are exploring new ways to keep our students outside and active during the cold winter months and inspire lifelong wellness. As PE teachers, we are passionate about getting students active, moving and learning through physical activity. Our goal is to expose students to as many lifelong skills and activities as possible. We hope this learning will foster a love of the outdoors and physical activity throughout their adolescents and into adulthood.
We know how important it is for our students to be outdoors and take in as much fresh air and sunlight as possible during the dreary winter months. With the current regulations, PE should be held outdoors as much as possible and if indoors, students should be limited to activities that do not raise their heart rates. With that being said, we want to take advantage of Vermont winters and give our upper elementary and middle level students the opportunity to cross country ski. In order for students to have an equitable experience on skis we feel it is crucial for our department to purchase a class set of boots, skis, and poles. We have a community partnership with Catamount Ski Cubs who will assist us in purchasing the equipment at retail cost. We are hoping to receive funding from multiple sources, so that this equipment could be purchased and be a valuable addition to your child's educational experience.
The SCS PE department is humbly requesting your financial support in order to purchase cross country skis for our students. We want to thank you for your previous support for our program and your understanding of the vital role physical education plays in our students' learning and wellbeing. We hope you will consider aiding our exciting equipment purchase to allow our students the opportunity to engage in a lifetime activity outdoors this winter!

If you have any gently used cross country skis that your child has outgrown (boots, poles, skis) and would like to donate them to our program that would also be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for reading and for your consideration. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Kelly Spreen at: kspreen@cvsdvt.org
Sincerely,
The PE Department
