The Education Students' Society ( ESS )

Hey everybody, I hope the second semester is going well and everyone is handling the weather we are having. Just a heads up, we are having a family skating day this saturday January 30th. We are planning on going to the Delta Bessborough and skating from 2 p.m. till 4 p.m. Come out and get some fresh air and exercise and bring who ever you want. Skating is free and you don't have to pay anything if you have your own skates. If you need skates you can rent some there. Free hot chocolate will be on hand to keep everyone warm also. So hope to see everyone out.
