INVERMAY -- Invermay School experienced many bustling activities over the past couple months, many due to the support of the Red Cross and SADD (Students Against Drinking & Driving).
On March 6, Invermay School gave recognition to Red Cross Pink Day. Students wore pink and thanks to the dedication of the Red Cross, were able to write positive messages on other students’ lockers, and had the opportunity to create their own anti-bullying T-shirts.
The SADD chapter promoted the Provincial Impaired Driving Week March 6-10 as well. Throughout the week, the club organized many interactive activities at noon that helped students acknowledge the seriousness of impaired driving. The SADD group held a Bring Your Own Banana sale on April 19 and 20. Students were all to bring a banana to school which the Red Cross had taken and created an ice cream sundae. Students had the taste of toppings and flavours of their choice with their banana. We’d like to thank everyone who had participated in the event.
Kent Seerey, along with volunteers, took the Outdoor Ed class ice fishing and tent fishing at Pelican Lake, a wonderful and educational experience for these students.
Invermay School held a Bunny Day on April 6 with many students dressing in their best bunny ears and Easter clothing. The day had been busy with the Red Cross hosting a bake sale that day and the SRC having prepared an Easter egg hunt. The students enjoyed an amazing start to the month of April. A special thanks to the Red Cross and SRC for their activities.
Kindergarten students had made Easter bunny baskets in celebration of the Easter Holiday. With the use of milk cartons and craftsmanship, these children truly are creative and imaginative.
The Grade 1 and 2 class had the opportunity of hearing Jennifer Redekop’s presentation based on agriculture. This was a delightful time learning and understanding the crops and plants of Saskatchewan.
Invermay’s junior badminton team has continued to show much improvement from last year. Canora had held a tournament on April 6 in which Michael Mesias prevailed in second place competing for boys singles. Great job, Michael!
