This is the news from Prairie River Junior High School in High Prairie.
This Friday, March 31, is our PRJH Science Fair. The Grade 8 students will be setting up their displays during lunchtime. Their entries will then be on display in the gym during the afternoon. Parents and guardians are welcome to come and see what the students researched. Please check in at the office when you arrive at the school.
The Grade 8 students are now working on their own legends. Pre-service teacher Terra Shantz has been working with them on Indigenous legends. Now they are creating their own legend using animals to teach a lesson. The students will also be creating their own book cover and biography to go with their legend.
The band class spent an afternoon practicing with the Donnelly G.P. Vanier, Slave Lake Roland Michener and High Prairie E.W. Pratt bands getting ready for a tour. They are all going on tour together to Sunpeaks, B.C. at the end of April.
Sewing teacher Brenda Coulombe has four girls who have finished their sewing project. The last few weeks they were working on two quilts to donate to the High Prairie Quilt Guild for the Ukrainian children in our area and the Edmonton Ukrainian Society to help the children feel welcome in our country.
The girls did so well at creating those two quilts that they have now created two more to donate. Coulombe is very proud of these young ladies!
Teacher Cheyenne Simms has been busy getting her handgames team ready to participate in the High Prairie School Division tournament coming up in April. We can hear the drumming and all the excitement all the way down the hall!
Parent Spring Break is coming up from April 7-16. That means that report cards will be out on April 6 for this last term.
