Those gathered at the Neilburg Community Hall Nov. 11 were reminded that we are Fragile and that None of Us are Free by the Neilburg Composite School senior band's interpretation of these contemporary songs.

The Ministry of Highways gave the school some dirt to fix up the in need soccer field. Teacher Ryan Nickel is a teacher who is coaching one of the soccer teams. He was trying to get the school soccer field into shape for the students.

Work continues on the village rink. Plans are being made for fundraisers to be held in the months to come. These include bake sales and bingos. Watch for dates.
