Track and field season has arrived. Maymont Cental School Students have been outside running, practising high jump, throwing the javelin and many more activities. Interested students in Grades 7 to 12 will participate in the track and field meet in North Battleford on May 25 and 26. Thanks to coaches Ryan and Krista Nickell for volunteering their time to coach the high school students.

The elementary students have been invited to Hafford School for their track and field meet. This will take place Friday, June 3.
This week, students from kindergarten through Grade 5 will finish the One School, One Book home reading project. Last week, Jim Shevchuk, one of the school division's superintendents of instruction, was a guest reader for one of the book's chapters. In the book, Charlie Bumpers vs. the Teacher of the Year, the teacher tells Charlie she may have to send him to see the superintendent. It seemed like a perfect chapter for Mr. Shevchuk to read to the students. They shared many laughs.
The Grade 12 graduation will be held Friday, June 10. The exercises will commence at 7:30 p.m. in the Maymont Central School gymnasium. There are nine students graduating this year.
