Many staff and students attended the candlelight service, celebration of life service and memorial service for Ethan Manson. The staff and students have been deeply affected by his sudden passing. He will forever be in our hearts and greatly missed.
Thanks to the Maymont Central School Community Council for organizing the lunch for the service in the school gym.
Congratulations to the Radisson Oilers Novice Hockey team. They won the bronze medal in the Saskatchewan Valley Hockey League by defeating Waldheim. They attended a Saskatoon Blades’ game for their windup.
Also, congratulations to Brooke Ferris and her Saskatoon girls’ hockey team. They are the provincial girls’ AA champions.
The Grades 4-12 students went on their annual ski trip to Table Mountain March 11. It was a windy day but the hill was very quiet. Everyone had a great day. For many of the younger students, it was their first experience with skiing and snowboarding.
While the rest of the school was skiing, the Grades 1, 2 and 3 classes went on a field trip to Saskatoon. They spent an hour and a half at Can-Am Gymnastics. The students had a lot of fun swinging from the high bars and landing in foam pits, walking on the balance beams, swinging on ropes and jumping on trampolines, as well as playing games with a parachute.
They enjoyed lunch at Jerry’s Food Emporium before going to the University of Saskatchewan. At the university, they toured the Biology and Geology Museum. The students were very impressed with the size of the T-Rex skeleton in the hall as they walked into the building.
Students saw many dinosaur skeletons, fossils and rock samples. They also saw many species of fish and reptiles. Everyone had a great day.
During the past week, the school had a broomball kit from the Saskatchewan Broomball Association. Physical education classes had a chance to use the shoes and brooms to play broomball.
Special thanks to Cody Greenslade for helping the Grade 6 and 7 class learn to play the game.
The SLC will be holding a sub sandwich sale March 26. This is also the day that the Grades 2, 3, 4 and 5 choir will attend the Hafford Music festival.
There will not be any school March 23. Staff will be having a professional development day at the school.
