Bring a Friend to Learn to Skate! The last week of skating lessons (December 11th & 14th) you can bring a friend with to class & skate with Santa!  After class, Cider and Cookies will be served near the FFSC office!

 
FALL 2017 TESTING: To move to the next level in the Learn to Skate USA curriculum, skaters will be tested by their instructor at the end of each session. Testing will be completed usually without the skaters even knowing they are being tested. Instructors may start testing the last two weeks of the session, December 4th through December 14th.Testing is a measure of the skills a skater has learned. Please be sure to encourage your child to excel, but please remember that each child will meet goals and advance at their own pace. Please do not compare your child to another, instead praise them for the goals they have personally achieved. At the end of the session each skater will receive an evaluation sheet. The skaters who have passed will also receive a badge and a certificate for their achievement. If your skater does not pass their current level, the evaluation sheet will be a great tool to see your skater's progress and to see what skills need improvement. If you have questions about your skater's advancement, please introduce yourself to your skater’s coach and feel free to ask questions.
 
PIZZA PICK UP NIGHT: Your fundraiser pizzas must be picked up on Thursday, November 9th between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm. Pick up will be in the ALC lunchroom located through the double doors near the concession stand. MORE VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED for this night.Please sign up online at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f044bafa92ea0fe3-20172018

WEATHER ANNOUNCEMENTS: The FFSC website (www.fergusfallsskatingclub.com) and Facebook page will post any weather related announcements. Both of these resources are great places to get the most current FFSC news. Weather announcements and arena closings will be announced on KZCR or KJJK radio stations. The Fergus Falls cancellation line can all be called at 218-332-5800 for the latest updates. Although, the rule of thumb is that if school has been closed, so has the arena and all classes are cancelled. Bookmark the FFSC website to your browser today!
