The Wellsville Secondary Middle-Level Physical Education Department took 8th grade students to Allegany State Park with financial assistance provided by the New York State Parks and Recreation Department’s Connect Kids to Parks Transportation Grant Program.  The aim was to provide our students the opportunity to experience outdoor winter recreational activities right in our backyard.  Our students had the opportunity to snow shoe and cross country ski using equipment purchased by our district. 
A warm thank you goes out to our 8th grade faculty and staff, the secondary school PE department, administration, bus garage, food service staff for box lunches they provided and the Allegany State Park staff.  A special thank you to the juniors and seniors who volunteered to mentor our students on this field trip. 
Yours in Winter Outdoor Fun,
Marc Agnello & Bill Sortore
