BARNSTABLE STUDENTS HAVE A SNOW DAY AT MOUNTAIN CREEK
OAKLAND, N.J., February 1, 2011 – Twenty-five middle school and high school students from Barnstable Academy in Oakland, N.J. took advantage of the region’s heavy snowfall recently to enjoy a day at Mountain Creek, a ski resort in Vernon, N.J. The middle school and high school students are all members of Barnstable’s popular Ski/Snowboarding Club. The club takes advantage of Barnstable’s early dismissal on Fridays to hit the slopes at Mountain Creek from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. on six Fridays throughout the season. The students are accompanied by two teachers and two parent “ambassadors” on each ski trip. In addition to the Ski/Snowboarding club, Barnstable offers a variety of athletic, academic and arts electives and after-school clubs for its students in grades 5 through 12.
