The 25th annual Newport Ski Swap is coming up Nov 12th & 13th. This is the coolest, most amazing, wonderful, special, fabulous PTSA fundraiser in the universe. (Not Homecoming related, yet needs to be said).

- It offers thousands of people the chance to purchase ski/snowboard equipment at low cost.
- It offers hundreds of NHS students the chance to earn BSD & Knight Valor hours.
- It offers mostly new merchandise, unsold from last year.
- It offers people the chance to sell old gear on consignment (clear out your closet now!)
- It brings our community together like no other event we do.
