CXC Skiers share Birkebeiner Story with Hayward Schools
By Brian Gregg
The ‘Skiers’ came to class at the Hayward Primary School on Monday. Kristina, Heather, Katie and I presented a short skit of the Birkebeiner Story, brought in our ski equipment for show and tell, taught the crowd a few skiing cheers and shared our experiences as professional cross country skiers.
Thanks to Janet Wisdom for helping to organize the day, what started out as visiting one classroom grew to 19 different classes. We had a lot of fun.

Who wants to play tag?
XC Skiing is Cool, but nothing beats ‘Tag’ at Recess
With staggered Lunch/Recess and fresh teams of kids, it was a fun and intense 45 minutes of tag.
The Barnebirke is on Thursday February 19th at 12:30pm. Come on out and ski and cheer, it will be a good time.
