100 Mile House Elementary news

Students keeping busy at 100 Mile House Elementary School

By Amy Baechmann

Hello again. I would like to tell you about the month of November at 100 Mile Elementary School.

Our leadership group started a campaign called "We Scare Hunger." Their goal was to collect 350 food items through Halloween trick-or-treat and donations in the school, and at the final count they got 374 food donations, which will be donated to three local food banks.

On Nov. 8, we had a Remembrance Day Assembly. Students, parents and visitors listened to poems, speeches and songs sung by the school choir.

The grade 6 and 7 students started their volleyball practices. The Grade 7 tournament will be happening on Nov. 26 at Mile 108 Elementary School and the Grade 6 tournament will be happening on Nov. 28 at Horse Lake School. Good luck to all participating students.

We also had our school Book Fair. Students and parents spent over $4,000 on books. Thanks to everybody! Now, we will have many new books in our school library.

Something to look forward to in December is our Family Movie Night on Dec.6. Everybody save that date. Our Christmas Concert will be on Dec. 19 at 7 p.m.

Good luck to everybody with all the events they are participating in, and don't forget everybody – stay warm.

This December, I will not be able to write about our school for the 100 Mile House Free Press because my family is going to Germany. So, I wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and you will hear from me again in January 2014.

Amy Baechmann is a Grade 6 student.
