Is it winter or is it spring? Kind of hard to tell with the mixed emotions shown by both Mother Nature and Old Man Winter. Tune in, folks 鈥�
St. Peter鈥檚 School continues to experience a very busy period leading up to Easter break. Don鈥檛 forget, April 17 is the school community council sponsored family dance and silent auction. Replies are needed by April 2. It will be a great night of fun and fellowship so you won鈥檛 want to miss out.
And never to be forgotten are the musical talents offered by St. Peter鈥檚 choir and bands as well as the choral speaking groups, feverishly practising for this year鈥檚 Unity and District Music Festival. St. Peter鈥檚 is hosting the school portion of the festival April 22.
Unity Public School population was very excited to see student, Cody Kuntz, along with school caretaker Tanya Kuntz, presenting their fundraising efforts live on TV during the annual Telemiracle telethon. Way to represent! Even though there is no school March 20 for students, kids know the next few weeks will be super busy with student-led conferences upcoming as well as ramped up music festival practices and the soon-to-be next steps in their curriculum.
At the high school, the Regional Drama Festival and spring production for the drama club are coming up in early April so drama club students are in high gear preparing for these events. And, the next phase of the @UCHSActivate campaign is 鈥淗ey Dude, Include!鈥� Watch their Twitter account for all the latest updates on this great campaign.
Here鈥檚 what we have left in hockey season. The peewee provincial team has won game one of their Provincial Northern Final versus Kindersley but, as of press time, I did not have the results of game two in this series. The bantam provincial team took their Northern Final series 10-7 and will now play in the provincial final against 麻豆传媒AVey. The bantam league team two, under the direction of Pat Risling and Curtis McLean, has one more series to play this week. Midget AA season I have had no updates on but will keep you posted. The Atom Whites captured the consolation side of their league title.
As this year鈥檚 hockey season quickly winds down, so do the opportunities to catch some great local talent competing in their respective playoffs. Check the arena schedule hanging at the rink or online at the Town of Unity website and see whose team your favourite player is on and come and cheer them on. There is always room in the stands for more cheering folk!
Congratulations Team Powell who competed at the juvenile men鈥檚 curling event in Nipawin last weekend. The team won bronze in this competition. This is the last weekend for the curling club as they hold the year-end funspiel for curlers of all ages. Next week will be the last league nights and that will be a wrap for this year鈥檚 curling season.
In the theme of events leading up to Easter 2015, the annual Way of the Cross Walk will once again take place on Good Friday, this year April 3, beginning at 10 a.m. The walk will start at Unity United Church and end with hot chocolate and hot cross buns at the Anglican Church hall. Everyone is welcome to journey the Stations of the Cross together.
Coffee row folks certainly are chatting about the many signs of spring appearing that include geese that are back, water gushing down ditches and roadways, longer sunshine hours and more and more people out and about in the community soaking up the nice weather. It鈥檚 a familiar part of our morning rituals as these folks gather to review, commend, debate and theorize all the aspects of Saskatchewan life in their daily conversations. No matter what the topic is, or which side of the topic they are on, we can be sure they will reconvene tomorrow for a chance to catch up on current events and community activities as well as sharing a few laughs along the way. So you see we keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time 鈥�
