There is great excitement in the Grade 2/3 classroom. The Painted Lady butterflies have emerged from their cocoons as full butterflies. They will remain in their containers for a few days and then will be released into the wild.
The high school athletes who attended track and field certainly had interesting weather to contend with this year. During the district meet, there were strong winds, rain and a very threatening looking sky on the Thursday, so the meet ended early. When the six athletes and their coaches went to the provincial meet, they were pelted with a hailstorm. They tried to seek shelter, but they were on an open track, so it was difficult. Luckily, everyone was safe and able to finish their events.
Jenna Fouhy placed eighth in the junior girls shot put and fourth in the discus. She received a ribbon in both events. Kassidy Menzies competed in the hurdles. There was a lot of competition in this event and Kassidy did not advance to the semi-finals. Kassidy also competed in the long jump. Ashton Harris placed seventh in the four-event quad, and won a bronze medal with the Battle West junior boys 4 X 100 relay team. James Armistead finished 10th in the long jump, 11th in triple jump and fourth with the Battle West Midget Boys relay team.
Kiera Amson finished in eighth spot in her four-event quad and competed in the senior girls 4 X 100 Battle West relay team. Dakota Warkentine placed ninth in the midget boys shot put. Any athlete who finished in the top eight was awarded a ribbon or medal during the podium ceremony. Thanks to Ryan and Krista Nickell for attending the two days of provincial competition with the athletes in Saskatoon.
