For South Peace News
This is the news from Prairie River Junior High School in High Prairie.
PRJH Raiders Winter Fest was held last week. Students were able to sign up for skiing at the Little Smoky Ski Hill, ice fishing at Winagami Lake, or go to the Big Meadow outdoor rink to skate. Students and staff had lots of fun getting some fresh air and outdoor fun for the day.
This week in Grade 7 Language Arts class, students are researching various aspects of the 1960s. Students are then taking the information they find about fashion, fads, trends, music and television and are creating a GSlide to present their information to the class.
Students are going to be reading the novel The Outsiders which takes place during the 1960s. This research project will help them better understand elements in the novel.
Students are already entertained by the styles, bands, and fads of the ‘60s.
PRJH staff bid a farewell to Trudy through to the end of March. She is on her month-
long practicum. Good luck Trudy, you will be spectacular!
Welcome, Jason Shirley into Trudy’s spot for the month. Shirley has been getting to know our students over the past few weeks and is doing great. We would like to also welcome Sheri Petersen who will be a new EA in our school this year.
