Medstead Central School saw a successful week in the arts with participation in multiple competitions. On April 3, students competed in the annual Spiritwood Music Festival, with the glee club competing and winning at the Spiritwood music festival. Several schools from the area including Medstead, Glaslyn and Spiritwood competed in spoken word and choral singing.

Boasting cocktails and supper, along with a silent auction and raffle, the popular event is associated with the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation.
