Senior High Girls Strike Gold

The Senior High Girls Curling team travelled to Vegreville for Zone Curling Finals February 20-21.  After a couple of close games on day 1, the girls managed to get into a tie breaking situation on day 2 to keep themselves in the running for the banner.  Then on day 2, they came out hot, winning back to back tie breakers to clinch a spot in the semi-final game.  They took the semi-final to an extra end and skip Chelsey Gaboury made a high pressure final shot to win the game.  Stepping right back onto the ice, they dominated the final game coming home with a 8-4 victory and the Zone Championship Title.  The girls will now advance to Provincials coming up March 5-7 in Lloydminster.  Come out and cheer them on!

Team members: Joelene Corrigal, Jessica Gauthier, Jordan Buchanan and Chelsey Gaboury

French 30 - Travel and Tourism Project

Late in Semester One, the French 30 class did a Travel and Tourism project where they had to research a Francophone country in the world and create a Travel Brochure, Bumper Sticker, Poster find a song from the country. The most exciting part of the project is that they had to find a recipe that originated in the country and make the food item to share with the class. This year the following countries were represented: Togo (Austin), Switzerland (Marti), Congo (Chandler), France (Matt), Luxembourg (Raylene), Morocco (Kaitlyn), Chad (Kenny), St. Martin (Harleigh), Louisiana (Will), Belguim (Spencer).

If you are in the school, come check out the bulletin board by the French Room and check out the projects. They did some great work!

Winter Walk Day!

On February 4, the entire school went for a walk around the community to enjoy the beautiful, but frosty, winter weather and each other’s company.  There were prizes handed out along the way and we were grateful for hot chocolate upon our return!  Thanks to the community members who walked with us!
