The travel club begins their adventure this Friday. They will be up early and sitting in Saskatoon airport by 5:30 a.m. They will travel to Winnipeg, then Toronto, and will finally arrive in Frankfurt, Germany Saturday morning.

They have a busy day Saturday since their touring begins immediately. They will see Heidelberg Castle, have lunch in a restaurant near the Black Forest and walk around Frankfurt. They will spend a couple of days in Lucerne, Switzerland; Munich, Germany; and then Innsbruck, Vienna and Salzburg, Austria.

There are 13 Grade 11 and 12 students going on the trip, along with three staff members and one other chaperone. Everyone is looking forward to the adventure and seeing a new part of the world.

The Grades 10, 11 and 12 students attended Try-A-Trade last week at the new curling facility in North Battleford. There were many hands-on activities to try like carpentry and welding. A lot of information was presented to the students as they begin to think about their futures.

Badminton season has wrapped up for the year. The junior players had an interesting experience. As they were preparing to leave for conferences in Leoville, one player realized he could not find his racquet. The school was searched but the racquet could not be found. Finally an announcement was made over the intercom to see if anyone had seen the missing item. Lo and behold, a classroom teacher brought the racquet out of the classroom. It was sitting right by the player's desk.

One crisis was solved. Then, just after turning on to the Spiritwood highway, it was discovered the vehicle transporting the players and coach had a flat tire. Luckily, the players had many skills and were able to change the tire and get everyone to Leoville in time to play.

Ty Fouhy and Connor Rothenburger played better and better as the day progressed. They finished third in their boys' doubles pool. Brayden Harris and Tyson Wawryk also played boys' doubles. They finished the round robin in a three-way tie for first place. When the points were counted, they were given second place. They lost the gold medal match to a very strong team. They went on to win the bronze medal match. Thanks to Cathy Gillatt for coaching the junior team.

The senior badminton team attended their conference playoffs at the North Battleford Comprehensive High School. Their trip was not nearly so exciting. They played well. Carter Amson and Kcarli Maxwell advanced to the district level but because of other commitments, they were unable to attend. Thanks to Kandice Walker for coaching the senior team.

Staff and students are very excited to have the Rocks and Rings program in the school for a few months. It is a curling game that has rocks on wheels. It is a great way to introduce the game of curling and some curling skills and strategies to the elementary students. It is fun to play too!

Katy Schmidt and Arin Amson, Grade 11 students, finished their club volleyball season on the weekend. They play on an 18 and under club team based in Martensville. They attended the provincial playoffs in Saskatoon on the weekend. They had a good season and got to play a lot of volleyball.

Several MCS students will be participating in a Mara-Fun competition May 25. Mrs. Krista Gray comes to the school several noon hours per week to run with the students. The students participating are Ype Elgersma, Makenna and Rylan Voegeli, Brooke and Janna Ferris, Taylor and Brodie Gray, Allison and Kim Wawyrk, Jenna Fouhy, Makenna Donaldson and Michelle Garrett. It is good exercise and staff wishes them well in their training.

The Maymont Dance Club held their annual recital April 13. Many students participated in the recital. Jayden Caldwell, Emmerson Voegeli, Rylan Voegeli, Allison Wawryk and Hanna Storm captured attention with a fun, energetic hip hop dance. Kayla Gray, Cassidy Serhienko, Kassidy and Frankie Menzies and Jan and Audrey Friesen started the recital will a beautiful lyrical number.

Michelle Garrett, Jenna Fouhy and Meghan Brehon performed a lyrical dance and a jazz performance. Other performers were Tyler Klassen, Jade Baker and Connor Garrett. They all danced in the hip hop numbers. MaKenna Voegeli and Taylor Gray were in jazz and hip hop performances. It was fun to watch Tyson Stinson in the Super Star dance and his sister, a former student, Liisa, finished her dancing career in a jazz dance entitled, Barefoot.

MCS vice-principal, Jean Brehon, was the MC for the event. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.

Swimming lessons for Grades 1 to 6 will begin April 28. This is the first day of classes after the Easter break.

There will not be any school news next week. MCS hopes everyone has a healthy, happy Easter, and the travel club has a safe, memorable journey.
