The Easter and spring break has arrived. Before we know it, students will be writing their final exams and another class will be graduating from Maymont Central School.
The MCS Drama Club presented "Hamlette" on the evening of Tuesday, April 11. It was a one-act comedy. It was a comedic interpretation of Shakespeare's classic play, Hamlet. Imagine if Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, was actually a woman and nobody would acknowledge it. The results were hilarious. Special thanks to JeanAnne Jackson and Wanda Gillatt for all the time they spent with the students preparing the play. Also thanks to the five members of the drama club for dedicating their time to act in the play. Mrs. Cardin and the Grade 10 class had their art displays around the gym and in the commons hallway.Â
Also, to enhance the arts program at the school, the school division's African Drums have arrived for the month of April. Elementary students have been learning a few beats and rhythms on the drums.Â

Senior archery students will be travelling to Moose Jaw on April 28 and 29 for provincials. They plan to stay overnight in Moose Jaw and see the Tunnels of Moose Jaw while they are there.
Students and their families from Kindergarten to Grade 5 have completed the One School One Book reading of The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles. It was a happy ending and an excellent book to read. There were many characters placed on the bulletin board as well as paintings and drawings of the characters and imaginary land created during the last few weeks. The older students created many pieces of writing based on the book.
One of the magical inventions in the book was the Jollyboat. It would only run if you told funny jokes. It also had a magic soda and ice cream sundae machine in the bottom of the boat. The book's final activity was to mimic the sundae machine, so students were able to make and eat their own ice cream sundae.
