Last Saturday, I was sitting in an outdoor café in Lunenburg, N.S., enjoying the sunshine and the view of the ocean. This morning, as I am writing the news, the ground is covered with snow and the school buses are not running. It is the first snow day of the school year and it is only Oct. 6!
It was a nice sunny day for the school's annual Terry Fox Walk. Students and staff made several laps around the schoolyard. Approximately $1,200 was raised for the Terry Fox Foundation. Thanks to everyone who sent a donation.
Sept. 30 was deemed Orange Shirt Day across the country. Everyone was invited to wear orange in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of self-esteem and well-being. It was also an affirmation of the commitment to ensure everyone around us matters.
ÌýThe senior girls' volleyball team participated in the tournament in Hafford on Oct. 1. They played hard and continue to improve their skills.
Both the senior boys’ and girls' soccer teams travelled to Saskatoon on Oct. 4 to play against the Lutheran Bible Institute from Outlook. It was a cold, wet day but the girls played really well and so did the boys.
The senior girls' soccer team will be hosting the regional playoffs in Maymont on Oct.21 and 22. The next weekend, they will be hosting the provincial playoffs in North Battleford on the weekend of Oct. 28 and 29.Ìý
The Education Week breakfast will be held Tuesday, Oct. 18. The SCC will be cooking pancakes that morning. Community members are welcome to join us for breakfast, too!
Maymont Central School welcomes Cage, the newest service puppy-in-training with Pawsitive Independence Autism Service Dogs, Inc (PIASD). Cage is a 10-week-old shepherd-cross, donated to PIASD by the Battlefords Humane Society. Cage is the third service puppy-in-training to do part of his socialization training at Maymont Central School. It is an invaluable experience as Cage is likely to accompany his future child to school when he is a fully trained service dog.
