Top of the World

Last Wednesday we were VERY lucky to head up to the top of Grouse Mountain, with two other grade one classes, for the Peak of Christmas.  This amazing field trip was made possible by a very generous donation to our school.  The day began with the sky ride.  The children were mesmerized watching the green trees turn snow covered as we climbed higher.  Their delight at the top was indescribable.  I think their cheeks probably hurt from smiling so much.  We saw reindeer, went for a winter walk along a snowshoe trail, saw Santa in his workshop and best of all played in the snow!  We capped off a perfect day with a cup of hot cocoa at the bottom of the mountain, thanks to another generous donation.
