Tomorrow is the day where everyone has been looking forward to (Jimmy the Janitor) - comedian will be here in Botha at the hall at 5:30 p.m. for a great evening of entertainment, so hopefully everyone has their tickets.

This is a fundraiser for the school and he is a great entertainer.

There will be a light supper and dance that evening too, and this is open only to adults 18 and up.

So the school would like to say a big thank you to everyone who bought a ticket for this and supporting them in this cause.

On Wednesday the 7th, was the DoDo Basketball game in Donalda.

Botha held the cup for the last year, so they were really hoping to bring it back home again for another year. But at the present I’m not sure who won the cup this year.

Report cards will be sent home on the 16th so if you would like to meet with your child’s teacher for an interview please phone the school and they will gladly set up a time for you to come to the school the evening of the 22nd.

Spring break also starts on the 22nd and students will be enjoying a break until April 3rd, when classes will start up again.

So hopefully all the wintery weather will be done and spring will be here by then.

Pajama Day will also be March 16th at the school too, and than on the 22nd is the day that the monthly challenge is due back at the school.

This monthly challenge is the ping pong cannon or catapult. The rules are as follows: to make either of these items they must launch a ping pong ball the furthest, and it must not hit the ceiling no matter what or they will be disqualified.

Materials you may use, if you are making a cannon however, it can be either pneumatic or hydraulic, your choice, but cannot use combustion.

There are no restrictions on either of these items otherwise.

March 20th is the first day of spring which will be great after such a long, cold winter.

Last weekend Central Alberta sure had a downfall of snow, so it sure will be nice when spring is finally here.

It’s going to be nice to see the pussy willows finally develop and the snow melting, except for all the mud we’ll be seeing out here in the country.

On Wednesday the 21st will be the student conference, so hopefully everyone who is involved can make it to this.

On Sunday, March 25th is the Old Tyme Spring Dance at 1:30 p.m. so wear bright colors if you like.

Quilting day is Monday, the 26th at 9:30 a.m.

Everyone is invited to join in.

Bingo evening will be Wednesday the 28th so come join in the fun.

Floor curling is held every Thursday at 1 p.m. so come on out and join in the game.

A belated birthday wish goes out to Jamie Thorsteinson for Tuesday the sixth; sorry about being late Jamie, but here’s hoping you had a fantastic day.
