Winter Walk Day is a province-wide initiative to get Albertans up and moving during the winter months. Winter Walk Day celebrates our Alberta winter while promoting the year-round health benefits of walking. If anyone in the community would like to join us with this walk, it will be Wednesday, February 4 at 1 p.m. The students and staff would like to thank Mrs. Rose Gorniak for donating 10 toboggans for our “Tobogganing Fun” program. The older kids have been pulling the younger kids at recess and they are all having a blast! The junior boys had many practices preparing themselves for their first game of basketball at E.H. Walter School in
Paradise Valley. The team consists of Curtis Ludwig, Glenn Storch, Diego Tinoco, Ethan Tobin- Gillis, Shayne Heward, Braeden Watling, Max Amero, Zack Leronowich, Tyson Default and Morgan Watling. Mrs. Barb Watling is the coach. The boys have been working hard, practicing drills and improving their skills. Have a great season boys! The weight room on the balcony of the gym has been updated with some new equipment! Kettlebells, medicine balls, resistance bands and exercise balls have been added as well as a new to us universal weight station. Instructional posters are posted to demonstrate proper use and a variety of ways to use the equipment. We are looking forward to having the students and staff access the equipment to work towards their personal fitness goals. A schedule
of supervised times is currently being drawn up. If any parents would like to help with supervision and to access the equipment as well, feel free to contact Mrs. Tara Tod for more information. The Mannville School Curlers are in full swing. Our senior high mixed team is preparing for district playoffs which are being held in Vermilion on February 12. The junior high teams are sharpening their skills for the north BTPS playoffs in Innisfree on February 5. In the meantime the curlers are enjoying playing against each other and are looking forward to playing games against Innisfree on January 26. We also have an elementary boys and girls team that are coming along great. Many of the curlers from Grades 4 - 10 will be enjoying some friendly competition at the Jim
Smith memorial bonspiel in Vermilion on February 6 and 7. On February 10, the kindergarten to Grade 6 students will be heading to the Vegreville Aquatic Center for their annual Valentine’s Day swim. They would love to have some parent helpers at the pool, however have to ask that parent volunteers drive themselves as there is limited space on the busses.
