A big congratulations to our boys and girls basketball teams on their bronze and gold medals. Both teams worked incredibly hard and showed a great deal of dedication throughout this season. More details are below in the athletics section. Good luck to our girls as they head to zones in Hinton this weekend.

The assurance surveys which were mailed out to parents with a child in grade four and up close tomorrow, March 1. Thank you to the parents who have completed the survey so far!

In preparation for wildfire season, I encourage all parents to ensure that the contact information we have at the school is up to date. This includes you phone number, address, email address, and emergency contacts in case someone else needs to pick up your child.

This coming week is free pizza hot lunch sponsored by Jim Robinson Contracting!

Friday, March 1, there is no school for students. I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Bailey Benson

The 2/3 class had a lesson on kindness and Pink Shirt Day this week. Students read a story and discussed kindness, why it is important and then created posters with different kindness slogans.

Kindergarten and Grade 1 students practiced their counting and addition skills by going on a scavenger hunt around the school!

The K/1s found another fun way to practice their addition skills by making different groups of objects.

The K/1s explored different instruments this week and were excited to hear the unique sounds that they made as they played them.

A big congratulations to our basketball teams. On Friday and Saturday last week they participated in the GYAC tournament in Edson. Both teams showed incredible sportsmanship and effort during the games regardless of what the scoreboard showed. During on game, our boys team noticed that a player on the other team was struggling to get a basket and they were kind enough to help him achieve that goal. It is wonderful to see the incredible leaders we have in this school! The boys team won a bronze medal and the girls won gold! Way to go Knights!

A big thank you to our wonderful coaches, Mrs. Kennedy and Mr. Setzer for their hard work, dedication, and leadership throughout the season. Coaching is not an easy job and we are very grateful that they were will to give up their time to support our athletes.

This weekend, our girls team is off to Hinton to play in zones for their final tournament of the season. Boys team windup is March 4th.

The Edson Mini Basketball organizers have changed their league format. They will no longer create teams or have tournaments, just practices. I will ask students if they are still interested and go from there.
