This will be the final news report of this school year. MCS staff hope you enjoyed reading them and hearing about some of the happenings at Maymont Central School.
Summer has arrived and the students are cleaning out their desks. The hallways will be quiet for two months. Everyone wishes the graduating class of 2014 all the best in their future endeavours. Some will be furthering their education, some will be joining the workforce and others will be taking a break to decide what they want to do. Whatever their plans, they will be missed and everyone at MCS wishes them well.

At school, awards were given to the elementary students for their noon hour sports. This award is voted for by the students in house leagues. The Boys' Sportsperson award was given to Jayden Rempel in Grade 5 and the Girls' Sportsperson award was given to Brooke Ferris in Grade 5.
The annual Park Day was wet again this year so it became an at-school Park Day. The elementary students watched a movie, played soccer and other games, had a scavenger hunt and had their faces painted. The older students played games, sports and watched a movie. Hamburgers and cheeseburgers were served for lunch. The day concluded with tug-o-wars in the gym. The Grades 7 and 8 class narrowly beat the staff team.
The spirit days finished with Western Day and the great competition is over. The Grades 4 and 5 class zoomed past all their competition to win the pizza lunch. It was a fun year of playful competition and encouraged everyone to dress up and participate in the spirit days. The Grade 10 class also received a pizza lunch for participation in the high school.
The staff would like to wish Mrs. Heather Cardin all the best in her new teaching assignment at Hafford Central School. Her outstanding English, drama and art skills will be missed around here in the next school year. Heather has been an asset to the school and will be missed.
From the staff and students of Maymont Central School, please have a healthy, happy summer. Life can change very quickly, so take time to relax, count your blessings and enjoy everything this beautiful province has to offer.
