The first day of school found the staff of H. Hardcastle School welcoming back the students for another year. As usual, there was an assembly where the SRC welcomed the students, and sports teams were signed up for. The students who celebrated their birthdays over the summer were recognized and new students and staff were introduced to the student body. Following this there was a game participated in by the elementary students.
This year the school is welcoming back Mrs. Laura LaClare from maternity leave as well as welcoming new teacher, Mrs. Lorna Macnab. The new students introduced were: Jordan McCaffrey, Lyndin and Ocean Locheed, Matthew Walker, Nexen and Taylin Ladwig and Annie Froese.
The Edam junior girls' volleyball team is being coached by Miss Cherelle Cadrain, and so far they have been busy. Thanks to Miss Cadrain for her following report.
The Edam Royals junior girls' volleyball team hosted their home tournament, Sept. 6, with six teams in attendance: Turtleford, Loon Lake, Glaslyn, North Battleford Comp A and B teams as well as Edam. The Edam girls advanced to the quarterfinal to play North Battleford Comp's B team and Edam pulled out victorious in the third set. Edam then met North Battleford Comp A team in the semifinal and came up short. North Battleford Comp A and Turtleford met in the final and North Battleford came out winning the tournament.
The Edam junior girls also travelled to Goodsoil Sept. 13. They had some good team bonding moments but did not advance to playoffs in the tournament. The junior Royals are looking forward to their next tournament Sept. 27.
