Classes resumed Feb. 23, after a cold, blustery February break. At least the first day back was nice so students could be outside playing on the new snowbanks.
Kaleb Nelson and Jayden Rempel, Grade 6 students, play with the Hafford Mustangs. They are currently in the second round of the Sask Valley League playoffs.

During the February break, Allison, Kimberley and Tyson Wawryk, along with MaKenna, Rylan and Emmerson Voegeli , Brodie and Taylor Gray and Jayden Caldwell went skiing in Jasper, Alta.
The Wawryks stayed a few extra days because Allison was in a Kinder Komi race. This was her first mountain race. Her siblings were at the bottom of the hill cheering her on to the finish line. She placed 61st in the first race and 63rd in the second race. There were 82 girls competing in the race and most of them were racers who had more experience on the mountain.
