Millarville Cool News - From Blizzards to Basketball

The Grade 3s were eager to return to school to share all the adventures of the holidays. What better way to share the excitement than in a story. The assignment: write a story that is loosely based on an event that happened over the past few weeks. Here is one of those stories. *Don't worry no one really got hurt!
The Spectacular Blizzard – By Emily
One day two boys Mateo 16 and Weston 20 and one girl Taylor 11 all went on a hike to Mount Everest. Weston was first, Taylor was second and Mateo was third. They walked a long way. Finally they got there. They looked in their backpacks. In their backpacks there was a rope and spikes to put on their feet. The only thing that they forgot was hooks so they wouldn't bang against the rocks and to help them climb. So they started to climb and their hands got cold because of the snow. When they got close to the top a blizzard came. Weston went the wrong way and Taylor and Mateo followed. Weston put his hand on a loose rock and fell but he quickly grabbed a different rock. Then he put his hand on another loose rock and he fell to the ground. Taylor went to find him. Weston had to go to the hospital but in the end he was ok.
Girls Basketball - Sierra and Shayla
We are now into Millarville grade seven/eight girls basketball league. So far we have successfully won all three of our games. The team has eight girls and is coached by Mr. Hayden and Mrs. Simard. We also had a tournament on January 27th and 28th at Oilfields High School, and another on Saturday, February 4th at Millarville.
Mr. Davidson - Katelyn, Caitie and Charizma
At the end of Christmas break, Millarville Community School got a new Vice-Principal - Mr. Davidson. He is also the Grade 6-7-8 humanities teacher. We do a lot on the computers with him and like him a lot as he is has a great sense of humour and he explains things slowly and clearly. Millarville Community School is thrilled to have him here!
Archery - Seth and Max
At Millarville Community school we have started archery in Outdoor Pursuits class. Our teacher is Mr. Beacom and he is helping us with our skills. We have taken a test, and are now target shooting. We are very much looking forward to continuing with this fun program.
Boys Basketball - Ethan
The boys have had a great start to the season under the guidance of Mr. Beacom with tons of practicing plus the bonus of defeating Edison 22-18 in their first game of the season. The boys basketball team has also started a tradition of wearing a shirt and tie for game days to show that the boys are wildcats. The team of 10 is looking forward to the rest of their season and their annual home tournament Wildcat Chaos.
