Pssst....That's Miss Wenzel's birthday!
Meet your Ski Club Sponsors:
Miss Wenzel
Miss Wenzel is an Art Teacher here at Congress Middle School. This is her third year teaching in Park Hill. When she is not teaching or painting she is outdoors enjoying biking, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, fossil hunting and skiing. Miss Wenzel first learned to ski when she was 11 years old on a trip to Colorado. She hopes that any student brave enough to try something new will take the time to join ski club!
Mrs. Bowman
Mrs. Bowman is the science teacher for Titans. This is her third year in Park Hill School District. When she is not at school, she enjoys spending time outside camping, hiking, and traveling. She grew up in Weston Missouri and has been to Snow Creek numerous times since it was so close. While she may not be very good, she loves the challenges of ski and snowboarding.
What do I need to do in order to go?
Pick up a permission slip (available Jan 11th)
Attend the meeting before school at 7:15 am on January 11 in Art Room 105 (parents do not need to attend)

Have a ride at school NO LATER then 8pm. (if teacher has to wait after 8:01pm for student pick up then the student will not be able to attend Ski and Snowboard Club again. Unfortunately every year teachers have been stuck waiting for students to get picked up. Please be courteous to the teachers who have chosen to do this and have a ride here on time.
**note: we are limited to only 35 students per trip per week. If we run out of spots for that weeks trip we will place you in the next available trip.
How to Pay:
- There are two ways your child can pay for skiing. They can either purchase a ski pass through Snow Creek http://www.skisnowcreek.com/season_passes.html or they can pay Miss Wenzel in room 105 before the Tuesday prior to the ski date.
- The cost for transportation, lift ticket, and equipment rental will be $30 (2019 rate) for each time they wish to go (even if you have your own equipment).
- For an additional $7 (2019 rate), they can receive a 1 hour group lesson which is required for new and beginning skiers and snowboarders.
- For $5 you can rent a helmet (2019 rate)
- If you have purchased a ski pass through Snow Creek and you have your own equipment (snowboarders must have bindings), then the cost for transportation each week will be $8 paid due on the Tuesday prior to the trip.
You may only reserve one week at a time. Due to a very high interest in Ski club this year we will not be able to collect money for all 4 weeks in advance. We ask that you turn in a permission slip and money each week.
Paperwork for the trip:
Permission slip- (due on or before the Tuesday before each trip)
