Congratulations to the Grade 8 class for their participation in the division-wide cardboard boat races June 10. The students had been learning about three-dimensional measurement and construction in their math class. They had to apply their knowledge to design and construct cardboard boats in only 90 minutes.
After construction, they had to race the boats across the pool and hope they stayed afloat!
Ju Young Park, Kale Skwark and Thomas Elgersma won second place overall in the races. They received the silver medal. They also won first place in the flutter board scramble. For this win, they received free ice cream for the whole Maymont team. The group also won the honour of having the boat that sank the fastest!
The Maymont group also received very high praise for their behaviour and politeness to all the other participants.
Grades 1 through 6 had a very enjoyable day at Hafford June 12. Hafford hosted the elementary track and field meet. It was a perfect day, not too hot, not too cold, and the bugs stayed away. Students participated very well and made some new friends. Hafford students and staff were excellent hosts and MCS thanks them for all their work.
Sympathy is extended to Twyla Stott on the recent passing of her aunt, Meriel Knowlson.
