Borden athletes competed in Districts at Griffiths Stadium on May 26, and the girls did very well. Rachel Sutherland placed first in discus and fourth in shot put in seniors, Danika Pidwerbesky was second in long jump and Brooke Brazeau was first in discus in juniors. They go to Provincials on June 2 and 3 in Saskatoon. Savannah Sutherland placed first in 100M, 200M, long jump and triple jump, but is in Grade 8 so she is not eligible for Provincials. Good luck, girls, at Provincials.
Ten students from Grades 1 to 6 participated in the Marafun run on May 28 in Saskatoon. They had run 40 km the last month or more at school then on Sunday, starting at Diefenbaker Park, they ran another 2.2 km for a total of 42.2 km, equivalent to a full marathon. Each student paid $15 to enter and after the race received a t-shirt, medal, snack and a drink.
On June 1, parents of kindergarten to Grade 4 students are invited to Borden School for their Kite, Bubble and Butterfly Release Program. The afternoon starts with a taco salad lunch at 12:15 p.m., eating outside, then the Grade 9-12 students will be running various events: releasing the butterflies, potato sack races, sandcastle building, kite flying, chalk drawing, bubbles, skipping, art centre and more. It should be a fun day for students and parents to enjoy. If it’s bad weather, the alternate date is June 8.
Reminder that June 2 is a perogie and ham supper from 5 to 7 p.m. with a silent auction in the Borden Community Centre. Saturday and Sunday at the sports ground are jam packed with items celebrating Diefenbaker Daze – with pancake breakfast, opening of new playgrounds and museum, kids zone, steak supper, music, ball, lots to eat and enjoy. The Lions Ride for Dog Guides also drop in at 9:25 a.m.
