This is your Raiders Report from Prairie River Junior High School in High Prairie.
The Raiders golf team has had a busy season! This season, the Raiders were able to participate in Divisionals hosted by High Prairie St. Andrew’s Schoon in tow. One of our teams, consisting of John Lefthand, Dastan Bulosan, Eli Debrule and Reid Girard, achieved a silver medal.
Members of our golf team also braved the cold and rainy weather in Fairview this past Monday to participate in Zones. All student athletes are improving and enjoying themselves more and more each day.
Our A-girl’s volleyball team is off to a great start this season!
PRJH has an amazing group of girls this year with some veteran Grade 8-9 players as well as some fresh new faces in the mix as well. Girls are already making a name for themselves as they brought home silver medals at the Sexsmith Sabres Showdown last weekend and gold in the Josh Halverson Invitational in High Prairie this past weekend. All A-girls are committed, dedicated and so excited to continue playing hard and having fun this volleyball season.
Our B-girls volleyball team is excited to be practicing and pushing themselves this past month. With almost all new players, they have shown tremendous growth in skill, confidence and leadership. They take advantage of every practice, every game and every tournament to improve their skills. We are so proud of how far they have come already. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings for this awesome group of girls.
The Raiders boy’s volleyball team is improving more and more as the season goes on. We are a new team that has a lot of potential for the year! During our Josh Halverson Invitational, the boys fought hard and played well to earn themselves a bronze medal.
Our second annual Shaw’s Point Grade 7 Campout was another great success! Our students enjoyed an entertaining overnight stay filled with beach fun, hiking adventure, land- based learning, fishing and delicious meals cooked outside over an open fire.
Our Grade 7s loved every minute of it and especially appreciated the balmy weather at night while sleeping in their tents. PRJH is already planning and looking forward to next year’s Grade 7 campout.
