Hi Folks,
Mother Nature gave us a fairly decent winter and appears to be starting Spring in the same manner. Term 2 was extremely busy with a number of activities happening both on and off site. Judging by the reaction of the students all were enjoyed.
Our final term is not nearly as busy as our after school activities have come to an end and our intramurals are winding down except for grade 6 badminton. Following the grade 6 badminton tournament, students in grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be able to participate in Manitoba Marathon training. Training will take place on days 1, 3, and 5 at 11:45. All runners will be training for the 2.6 mile super run which will be held on Fathers Day at the University of Manitoba. Our tentative training start date is Tuesday, April 27th. This is a great opportunity to improve their fitness levels, cardiovascular endurance, and obtain a love of running. It is also a wonderful way to cross train for any other sports they participate in. Parents are always welcome to join.
As for the past 3 years I am looking at running a track and field meet for students in grades 4, 5, and 6. Our students will be competing against students from other schools in various running and field events. I have tentatively set this for Friday, May 28th at the high school in Elie. Finally I am hoping to have a baseball tournament with our grade 5/6 students and the students from St. Eustache. This would happen sometime in June. Students from both schools would be mixed into teams and would compete against the other teams rather than the schools.
I would like to thank those parents, alumni, etc. who helped with various activities throughout the year both on site and off site. Please feel free to stop in and see me should you have any questions or call me at 864-2868 during school hours. Stay active and enjoy life.
R. Piche
