Congratulations to our latest skaters to pass U.S. Figure Skating tests!

On Feb 29th, Kelly Gulbrandson passed her Adult Silver Moves in the Field and Elizabeth Penny passed her Pre-Juvenile Moves in the Field. Both skaters train with NSS Director Carey Tinkelenberg at the St. Paul Figure Skating Club. Both are also members of the NSS staff team. Kelly is an Assistant Director and Skating Instructor and Elizabeth (Lizzy) is a Skating Assistant.

Please join us for our Session 2 Parent Meeting, Wed 1/18/12, 7-8pm at the Northfield Community Resource Center, 1651 Jefferson Parkway.

At the parent meeting, you will receive your skater’s class and coach assignment. We will also distribute your open skate passes and Parent Handbooks, review our programs, policies, equipment, Q & A,and more. This is a great chance to have your questions answered and clarify what to expect from lessons and how to help your skater get the most out of our program. It is important to us that parents and skaters have the information they need before lessons begin and we have found this type of communication especially important for new skaters. The meeting is geared toward parents, but skaters are welcome to join us. If you are unable to attend, please contact us for your group and coach assignment and the parent handbook.

Date: 12/18/11
Time: 5:15-6:45pm
Location: Northfield Ice Arena, 1280 Bollenbacher Drive, Northfield MN
