QUEST Sled Race

 QUEST staff,

 The ground is not exactly covered with snow just yet but it’s never too early to get the kiddos fired up about one of our long standing traditions, the sled race!

 The sled race will be held on Friday, January 21^st  at 9:30.

 A few of you have reached out regarding the dimension requirements for this year. See document below for this year’s guidelines.

Our goal is to make it an enjoyable experience for all and the amount of time and effort put into building a sled is entirely up to the teacher. The tech room will be fully stocked after break and I will have a sign-up sheet hanging outside of the tech room for the 3 weeks leading up to the event. Please remind your students that they can bring in materials from home if they wish but the construction of the sleds has to take place in school. Parents are welcome to come in and assist your classes in the tech room but please make sure they are not in the tech room without a teacher in there as well. If you have items that need to be cut but you run out of time during the school day, have your students bring them to me and I can cut them before or after school.

Please, do not let your student spray paint their sleds on the sidewalk outside of the tech room!!!!!

 

 For Primary Classes below

I will be providing sled kits to the Primary classes again this year. Please let me know if you are a primary class and would like a kit. These kits will consist of:

-1 piece of plywood to be used as the sled base

- 2 plexi-glass runners (skis)

-2 wooden risers that connect the runners to the sled base.

As a class you can simply discuss the design you want your sled base to look like and I will cut them for you. You will then assemble the 3 items into a sled using liquid nail (will be provided to you) and you can then paint them as a class and make them look amazing!

 If we have a very cold day, we plan to have the event streaming in the auditorium this year. If  we have any individuals that wish to watch it but its too cold for them, the auditorium is an option.

 Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Thanks!
