It’s hard to believe it’s that time again! The winter season is just around the corner. Indian Lake Elementary will be sponsoring another ski club this winter. The ski passes will be valid all year, including winter break and all holidays but excluding the 5th grade ski trip. Our designated night will be Tuesday night. Parents will have to provide their own transportation for the children. We will meet at Timber Ridge after school.
Help to Raise Funds for 6th Grade Camp
On Friday, January 22, 2010 we will have a Vicksburg Family night at Wings stadium. Come out and spend time with family and friends and watch our Kalamazoo Wings play the Cincinnati Cyclones. The game starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at discounted prices and proceeds will benefit the 6th grade camp fund. We will have a special “Vicksburg” section. Please join us for a night of hockey, friends, fun and surprises! Just send in the vouchers to order your tickets. The first 100 orders will receive a special K-Wings schedule pen so be sure to order your tickets today! In addition we will have Vicksburg parents working the “Chuck-a-puck” table and the money collected from the chuck-a-pucks will go to the 6th grade camp fund.
If you have questions please contact Jennifer Grace at 649-4010.

Dropping Off Students in the Morning
If you bring your child to school in the morning, you must remain outside by the front door, except in the case of an emergency, until the bell rings. This is done for the safety of our students. There is no adult supervision during this time. Thank you for your cooperation!

The office is in need of gently used, children's sweatpants and shirts, underwear, socks, boots (small sizes), mittens, and sweatpants — any donations can be dropped off in the office. Thank you!
