BYEMOOR/ENDIANG NEWS -- Byemoor School students are taking swimming lessons in Stettler for three weeks. B.J. Smith is the driver of the swimming bus.
Endiang’s Winnie Paulsen was thrilled with her early birthday present in honour of her upcoming 80th birthday. Her family treated her to a trip to Seattle to attend three Toronto Blue Jays games against the Seattle Mariners. To make it better, the Jays won two of the three games. Winnie was accompanied by eight members of her family and had a fantastic time.
Another local family also travelled to Seattle to take in the Blue Jays games. Donnie and Blanche Johnson, along with their daughters and families — Stacie and Travis Hickle, Darla and Eric Borrowman and all the grandchildren, enjoyed a special family event of taking in the major league games as well. They also reported a great time in Seattle.
The grades 4-6 students from the Byemoor School took a science field trip to the Rocky Mountain House area last Monday. They went to the Des Crossley Demonstration Forest where they gained much knowledge about identifying trees, determining tree age, and the use of compasses, temperature readers and diameter tapes. They helped perform a tree core and learned how squirrels impact forests and all the ways humans use forests. It sounds like it was an informative trip.
