On May 23, the Byemoor School students were joined by Byemoor - Endiang councillor Les Stulberg to plant a tree in front of the school commemorating the Byemoor Centennial as well as the County of Stettler’s 70th Anniversary.
To further mark the special occasions, each student was also presented with a pair of spruce trees to take home and plant, courtesy of the County of Stettler Agricultural Service Board.
May 23 was a busy day at the school as it was also Bob the Builder Day. The kindergarten class was joined by their Dads to build benches and small picnic tables to take home. This project is always a highlight for the youngsters.

Humour for the Day —
“Were the early days of history called the Dark Ages because there were so many Knights?”
“If you get run over every day by the same bike, is it a vicious cycle?”
“I made a huge to-do list for today, I just can’t figure out who is going to do it.”
“Why is it the one who snores falls to sleep first?”
