The final full week of classes and activities has arrived. The Grades 10 through 12 classes were done Tuesday and students begin writing their exams Thursday. They will be writing math, physics and biology/science. They complete their exams June 27. The other grades finish classes that day as well.
Students made Father鈥檚 Day gifts for their fathers this year. Fathers always enjoy the treasures their children make at school and present to them on their special day.
The kindergarten and Grade 1 class folded and decorated a paper cup. It proudly displayed 鈥淲orld鈥檚 Greatest Dad鈥� on it. They can鈥檛 actually drink liquid out of it, but it will be a great treasure.
The Grade 2/3 class made paintings with their handprint proudly displayed in the centre. The title of the painting was 鈥淚鈥檓 Hooked on You.鈥�
The Grade 4/5 class painted birdhouses and varnished them so they can withstand the weather. Some students put their dad鈥檚 initials on their birdhouse with stickers.
The Grade 2/3 class has planted vegetables and marigolds in garden boxes in front of the school. This was a project in their science unit on soil. Thanks to the Radisson Co-op for donating the original potting soil to start the young plants and Ron and Gary Caldwell for donating the topsoil for the boxes. Also thanks to Mr. Nickell鈥檚 PAA class for funding and building the boxes.
Another year of swimming lessons is complete. The final lesson and free swim for Grades 1 to 6 students was held June 20.
Many of Maymont School鈥檚 students participated in the community ball playoffs June 18. They were held at Glenburn Regional Park. The 18 and under playoffs were held earlier in the week at Borden.

The Maymont/Radisson 12 and under team finished in second place and the younger students in Blastball had a blast.
The school鈥檚 annual Park Day was held at Glenburn Park June 21. The entire school and staff ventured to the park for a fun day of activities.

The school community council committee provided hamburgers and watermelon for lunch. During the lunch break, the sports awards were handed out to students at all levels of school.
Thanks to everyone who organized and volunteered to help with Park Day. A special thanks to Keeley Bzdel for being the lifeguard. It is a nice way to include the entire school before they are done for the year.
