Summer seemed to have flown by much too quickly and the students are back in school Thursday. At Borden there will be a few new faces, as Mrs Kaufman had a baby boy since end of last year so she will be out on maternity leave and EA Carol Crabb will be working in Langham Elementary, leaving only two EAs at Borden – Linda Yuskiw and Sheri Sutherland. Mrs. Locke will be teaching kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2. Grade 3 and 4 will be together instead of Grade 2, 3 and 4 in one room. Kindergarten orientation is Sept. 8 and classes start Sept. 12 for them. The principal for the upcoming year is Mitch Luiten.
Our grandson, Duncan Sutherland, left Aug. 28 for Cranbrook, B.C. where he will be again attending College of the Rockies, studying kinesiology and playing volleyball with the Avalanches. Instead of staying in the dorm on campus this year he is renting a house with two other players from the team within walking distance of the college.
A bridal shower was held at the farm home of Mary and Ron Saunders on Aug. 25 to honour Carlye Gwin, who is marrying Tristan Saunders of Borden on Sept. 17. Emiley Saunders introduced the head table – Carlye, her mom Darcy and sister Kim Qwin, Justina Sentes and the groom’s mother Louise Saunders.
Emiley gave a brief history of Carlye and how she and Tristan met at the stock car races, as they both are involved in the sport.
Carlye is a medical office assistant and works in the city and at the Borden Health Care Centre. Tristan, Carlye and son Kacey are moving in to the former home of Gerald Bergman in Borden, and Kacey will be in Grade 2 at Borden School.
Games were played and the gifts were opened, Carlye thanked everyone for coming and for the gifts. Sshe modelled a hat made from the ribbons, bows and tissue paper, then lunch was enjoyed be all the guests.
