The Grade 4 -6 students from Marsden Jubilee School had a great time on their ski trip to Table Mountain Feb. 9. The day started with an early bus ride to the hill, followed by group ski lessons. Students then had the opportunity to learn new skills and work on former abilities. Miss Harper, Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Williams enjoyed spending time skiing with kids and they look forward to next year's ski trip.
During Telemiracle Week (Feb.13-17), the students paid to participate in a variety of events,including pyjama day, hat day, tie day, float day and a pancake breakfast. Throughout the week the students had the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for the chance to be the principal or a teacher for a day. The winners were: Miss Taylor -Jimmy (K), Mr. Logan Blackbeard (Grade 1/2), Mr. Aaron Harder (Grade 3/4), Mr. Travis Morgan (Grade 5/6), Miss Tyra McIntosh (principal), Kaden Johnson (EA), and Jaiden Graham (EA). We look forward to seeing how these students run the school for a day. In total, approximately $1,016 was raised between community donations and the activities the students took part in during the week.

Kindergarten students will receive their second report cards in June, but parents will be invited to an interview in March to discuss their child's progress.
