2026–2027 Ski bus

2026–2027 Ski bus

Ski bus is a trans­porta­tion-only pro­gram that takes stu­dents from RESMS to Sum­mit Cen­tral Ski Area after school on Fri­days start­ing Jan­u­ary 8, 2027 and run­ning for 6 weeks, fin­ish­ing on Feb­ru­ary 12, 2027 (the week before mid-win­ter break).

Fol­low this link for Robert Eagle Staff to reg­is­ter and secure your spot by Novem­ber 15, 2026. As a reminder, ski bus includes trans­porta­tion-only from RESMS to Sum­mit Cen­tral and does not include lessons, gear, or ski tickets/passes. The pro­gram will be capped at the first 80 par­tic­i­pants and is open only to cur­rent­ly enrolled stu­dents at Robert Eagle Staff Mid­dle School. After 80 have signed up, we will start a wait­list.

With 6 weeks of ski bus and many vol­un­teer jobs (chap­er­ones, gear movers, dri­vers), we are ask­ing every fam­i­ly to vol­un­teer for at least 1 shift dur­ing the sea­son. Vol­un­teer sign-up list will be sent out after reg­is­tra­tion clos­es. New to ski bus and have ques­tions? Check out the Face­book group for the lat­est and great­est infor­ma­tion or email Ken Miller at skibusravens@gmail.com. There will be a zoom call in the near future to address ques­tions, stay tuned for updates on when and where! Please note this is not a school-run pro­gram. It is vol­un­teer run, using Snow Sports Con­sult­ing Ser­vice for trans­porta­tion.

  • Stu­dent Advo­ca­cy Night on Tues­day, Sep­tem­ber 15th from 6:30 PM — 7:30 PM
  • First ever Wash­ing­ton State PTA Essay Prompt Con­test!
  • Leg­isla­tive Assem­bly is for Stu­dents!
The WSPTA is hold­ing a Stu­dent Advo­ca­cy Night on Tues­day, Sep­tem­ber 15th from 6:30 PM — 7:30 PM, and we’d love for you to come. Here’s what we’re doing:
The Civics Cen­ter is com­ing to talk about how to run a vot­er reg­is­tra­tion dri­ve at your school. After that, we’ll go over a recog­ni­tion pro­gram where if your PTA hosts a dri­ve and sends us pho­tos, we’ll send back a cer­tifi­cate, pro­vide recog­ni­tion, and a prize! Our goal is to see as many PTAs/students host a vot­er dri­ve as pos­si­ble. More infor­ma­tion will be shared at the event.
Then we’ll have the WSPTA Advo­ca­cy Direc­tor on to answer ques­tions: how the Leg­isla­tive Assem­bly actu­al­ly works, how an issue ends up on the leg­isla­tive plat­form, and what a stu­dent can real­is­ti­cal­ly do if there’s some­thing they want to change, and much more. Stu­dents will have time to ask their own ques­tions too.
Please pre­pare as many ques­tions as you’d like to ask! This is a great way to come learn why stu­dents should attend Leg­isla­tive Assem­bly too! Parents/Guardians are always allowed to join and lis­ten but this is a stu­dent lead work­shop run by stu­dents for stu­dents. Reg­is­ter today!

We are host­ing our first ever Wash­ing­ton State PTA Essay Prompt Con­test! Every year, the PTA runs an essay con­test open to Kinder­garten­ers through 12th Graders, giv­ing them a chance to share their ideas, cre­ativ­i­ty, thought­ful­ness, great ideas, and their writ­ing skills. Through this con­test, we aim to inspire and encour­age cre­ativ­i­ty in young minds across the state.
This year, we are intro­duc­ing anoth­er con­test to accom­pa­ny the essay con­test – the Essay Prompt Con­test! In this con­test, stu­dents tell us some­thing they would like to write about – a prompt for the actu­al essay con­test. From Sep­tem­ber 1 to Octo­ber 12 at 10:00 PM, stu­dents are able to send their ideas for a thought­ful, cre­ative, deep, and inter­est­ing prompt to be select­ed. If their prompt/theme is select­ed, they will receive a $25 Ama­zon Gift Card, and be hon­ored at the stu­dent pro­grams cel­e­bra­tion! There are sep­a­rate cat­e­gories for grades K‑2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12. From each cat­e­go­ry, the top 3 prompts will be select­ed.
Ulti­mate­ly, the suc­cess of this com­pe­ti­tion is depen­dent on the par­tic­i­pa­tion we receive. Please send this out to your school and com­mu­ni­ty, and help us encour­age stu­dents across the state to express their love for writ­ing! Ques­tions? Please email Michelle Wein­mas­ter at michelle.weinmaster@wastatepta.org. Hap­py apply­ing, and we can’t wait to read your ideas! Essay Prompt Con­test Appli­ca­tion link
