A special thank you to keynote speakers Candy Palmater, Dr. Heman Michell, Dr. Doyle Anderson and former Ermineskin Junior Senior High graduate Maria Buffalo!
K4's use the new #everactive "Don't Walk in the Hallway" decals. Added daily physical activity will not only improve the health of our students but research shows it will also improve student learning. Students are encouraged to ahasokwaskohti (hop), kwaskohti(jump), or dance their way through the hallways.
Kisipatnahk students had a great time at the Cake Walk. So many students were able to bring home a cake to share with their family. And what a perfect time, with Family Day being on Monday. We hope you all enjoy this time.
We will see all students again on Tuesday, February 19th. All MESC staff will be attending the Nehiyawatisiwin Conference, Thursday and Friday.
