On Friday January 27, 2011 PHS Ski Club took 48 students Skiing and Snow Boarding to Mount Belleayre Ski Lodge. The Ski Club has both new skiers and old skiers. This year there were over 27 seniors who went on the trip many which have been going since their freshmen year. According to Samora Vanderpuiji, ” I can’t believe we are seniors and how fast the time has gone by. I am going to miss all my friends and even my teachers like Mr. Andujar”.. The overnight trip allows students to leave Peekskill and see the beautiful scenery of the catskill mountains. This trip allows students to become real good friends and meet other students from other schools. Students in the Ski Club are challenged to take their skills to a new level and at the same help others develop their skills and abilities. Cooperation and team work are essentail skills that are needed in today’s workforce and through the Ski Club students are able to face some of their fears and yet rely on others in order to overcoming some of these fears. For many seniors the Ski Club is not just another club, instead over the years we become a family learning to trust in our friends and rely on our teachers for advice and guidance.
There will be two more Ski Trips coming up in the month of March and April…See Mr. Andujar and Mr. Hubbard for a permssion slip…..All are welcome to join……
