This is the news from Prairie River Junior High School in High Prairie.

Here are some important dates: April 6, report cards will be emailed home, and April 7-16 is spring break. No school!

PRJH’s Mathlete Team competed in a competition hosted by the University of Waterloo Mathematics Department on April 5.

The PRJH Science Fair this year was a little different with our Grade 8 students hosting their own STEM style fair with hands-on Science for everyone. Teacher Larkin Stokes and teacher Keith Davidson are still calculating the totals and winners will be announced after the holidays. More to come in next week’s paper.

Congratulations to Faith Bruneau, who won Gold in Junior Division and second overall at the Peace River Divisional Science Fair. Bruneau will be on her way to the National Science Fair in Edmonton from May 13-20. Great Job, Faith, and good luck at Nationals!
