Dear Huffman Families;
We are now officially at the half-way mark of the school year and our winter break
has arrived. I would like to thank all of our children, families and friends for a

Thank you everyone for your part in making all of our children’s educational
experience here at Huffman Elementary a successful one. Huffman is a delightful
place to work and learn.
Everyone please have a restful and enjoyable holiday break. Spend a lot of time
with your children. It truly is the most valued gift you can give them.
Darrell

General Information:
Equipment: We have equipment for all students and will spend some time fitting skates and ski boots. If students want to bring
their own equipment, they must store it in their classroom and it needs to be clearly marked with their name. Skis are not allowed
on the bus.
Clothing: Students should be prepared to be outside for 45 minutes on their ski or skate day. They must have warm clothes, a hat,
and gloves or mittens. Please provide LONG wool or synthetic socks. Short cotton socks or no socks = raw ankles. Yikes.
Parent Help: YES!!!! WE LOVE HELP!!!! Just check in at the office, get a visitors pass, and come on down to the gym. We especially
need help tying laces and helping the younger students get dressed, ready, and safely down to the ice rink or out to the field.
Equipment Donations: Sure. We are always wearing out equipment and can use new (your old) skis, boots, and poles and
hockey skates.
Thank you so much for your help and support,
Mrs. Bergt
