As the six school buses arrive with the students, the school community thanks the drivers for bringing them to school safely. The drivers have to deal with many types of weather and road conditions throughout the year, and everyone is grateful for the excellent job they do in many situations.
Thanks to drivers Ben Stenerson, Cathy Dyck, Christine Combres, Kari Gray, Corey Brown and Marion Stead for your excellent service. Also thanks to Shane Bailey, a spare driver who willingly does field trips for the school.
The soccer teams went to Rosthern Thursday to play exhibition games. The boys came close to their first victory but, with only a few minutes left, Rosthern scored. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.
The girls’ game ended in a similar fashion. The teams were tied until Rosthern scored with only a few minutes left, so the game ended 2-1 for Rosthern.
This Friday and Saturday, the soccer teams will participate in regional playoffs.
The senior girls’ volleyball team hosted a six-team tournament at the school Oct. 17. The girls only lost one set to Hafford and then won against Hafford in the final match. Their next action will be on Halloween in Borden.
The junior girls attended a two-day tournament at the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Oct. 16 and 17. It wasn’t their best tournament of the season, but sometimes it happens that way.
