Sports report
The PRJH Raiders won gold during the Rim Rockers Basketball Tournament on Jan. 20-21.
The game for gold was hard-fought against the Slave Lake Roland Michener Rams. It was a good weekend for the boy’s basketball team. They played well as a team against Slave Lake. The whole game they were down four or five points but they battled back and won the gold medal.
Last weekend the team was in Bezanson for a tournament. We hope to have pictures for you in next week’s paper.
Options report
The Agriculture option students from PRJH went on a trip to the High Prairie Vet Clinic Jan. 20 and met the clinic manager, and the registered veterinary technician. They gave the class a tour of the building and had set up some hands-on stations. Students were able to see under a microscope a blood sample, and see samples of lumps and poop. They had an opportunity to put on a cap and gown and do a surgery on a stuffed animal as well as glove up and experience going shoulder deep into a cow’s behind!
Our next round of options is full of different Art classes, various types of sports, more D&D, a different sewing project, some beading, snack prep, Mandarin, drama, mythology, lifeguard prep, yoga, cosmo, band, Mindcraft, IA, student leadership and foods. The last two blocks of each day should be lots of fun!
