With just a couple more weeks of the school year remaining, the community is abuzz with events. From the elementary baseball team finishing up its season to the upcoming graduation celebration, the members of the community are busy.
Medstead Central School celebrated kindergarten graduation June 7, with its students officially ready to enter elementary. Family members celebrated as the young ones completed their first matriculation.
Elementary track and field was a full day event June 6, where students from Spiritwood, Leoville and Glaslyn gathered with Medstead students to compete in a variety of track and field events. Local parents and community members, in conjunction with the school, organized the canteen and groups of children as they made their way through the events. From the marble-spoon race, to throwing games, to running events, the day was sunny and full of hundreds of happy students.
This is not the end quite yet for Medstead students, however. Graduation for seniors is coming up Tuesday, June 26 with the senior students and faculty baseball game on the same day. Report cards have yet to come out and the annual hot dog lunch through the school community council is slated for Tuesday, June 19.
It is not just the school that is busy. Saturday the Action Auction team held an auction at the Village Hall, where a variety of diverse items were sold. In addition to this, the community readies for the Medstead and District Recreation Association parade Saturday, June 30, which is being co-ordinated by Cheyenne Orange. The annual event that boasts a pit roast and street dance is looked forward to every year where locals can ring in another year of Canadian pride.
