Members of the cooking club at Marsden Jubilee School have made sloppy joes and French fries. In the next two sessions, they plan to make mini pies, sugar cookies and decorate gingerbread houses.
In January the Grade 1 and 2 class will be learning about the history of Marsden. To make it more interactive for the students, Mrs. Erickson is looking to have some speakers come into the school to talk to the class. Topics include: "How has Marsden changed?", "Why are local places named the way they are?" and "What is the history of our school?" If you would be willing to come in and speak to the class, please call the school.
