Remember to bring your old telephone books to the school so they can be recycled. SaskTel will refund 10 cents for each phone book that is recycled to the school. This program benefits both the environment and the local school. It also provides an opportunity to teach students about recycling. Salvaging one ton of paper saves about twelve trees.
Marsden Jubilee School had a Grade 5/6 volleyball team this year. The students played well at tournaments in Neilburg Nov. 23 and 28.
