Recently, Audrey Friesen was crowned Miss Teenage Western Saskatchewan 2016. With her title, she hopes to volunteer more and become involved in many local events across Western Saskatchewan. Audrey enjoys volunteering because it is not only a learning opportunity for her, but also a way of giving back to the community. Her first appearance was literacy night at Maymont Central School where she currently is completing Grade 11. In the near future, Audrey intends to help communities in Ecuador by fundraising for Free the Children. In July, she will be competing for the title of Miss Teenage Canada at the national pageant in Toronto. Voting for People’s Choice award for Miss Teenage Canada opens July 17 at .
Seventeen students attended the archery provincials in Prince Albert April 23. The archers did well.

The elementary hallway now has a chain of colored sneakers adorning the wall. The One School, One Book program has started and students and their families are reading a book from the Charlie Bumpers series. In the second chapter, Charlie goes shoe shopping and desperately wants some black sneakers with red soles. Of course, the store doesn't have any so he must settle for plain white ones. In the next chapter, he takes a marker and colors them black. Needless to say, his mom wasn't too pleased. Students from kindergarten through Grade 5 worked together to decorate a paper shoe, then they were placed on the wall.
Students and staff were colourfully dressed Friday. There were grass skirts, leis and bright flowers in people's hair. One of the Grade 11 boys was even wearing a bright green grass skirt. Parker Sevick, a kindergarten student, was wearing a t-shirt directly from Maui that had the name of the state fish of Hawaii, Humuhumunukunukuapua`a, written on it. These were all symbols and clothing for Hawaiian Day!
