The school gymnasium was full to capacity for the annual welcome back breakfast Sept. 10. Staff and SLC members arrived early to cut up fruit and muffins and set up the gym.
Greg Ferris, the school community council president, introduced the members of the committee and spoke about the council’s role. They are there to support the school. Greg also mentioned the SLC has purchased two memorial benches that will be placed in front of the main entrance to the school.
Jean Brehon, vice-principal, then spoke about the two memorial trees that were purchased and planted in June. One is a memorial to Kelly Langely and the other to Ethan Manson.
Later in the day, the Grades 4 to 7 students along with Jean Brehon and Cathy Gillatt hung a memorial ribbon on Ethan’s tree.

Students and staff were bussed to Hafford School Friday afternoon to watch the football game between the Hafford Vikings and the Biggar Blazers. Connor Garrett, a Grade 12 student in Maymont plays with the Hafford Vikings. It was a beautiful day for the game and the home team won.
Maymont Central School said good-bye to our dog, Pawsitive Annie of Dunrovin. Annie has had many interesting experiences while training at the school, including practising school bus etiquette, going to a football game and attending grad. She has done well and her time at the school has been invaluable for her training.
It is now time for her to move to the next stage of training on her journey to becoming a certified service dog.
Although Annie will be missed, the school is happy to welcome Pawsitive Bonnie of Dunrovin as she begins her socialization training at Maymont Central School.
The senior girls’ volleyball team attended their first tournament of the year in Luseland last Saturday. They finished first in their pool and then won against Macklin in the semifinal. They lost the final game to the home team, Luseland, but played very well for their first tournament.
The junior girls’ volleyball team will attend a two-day tournament in Lloydminster on the weekend. There are 16 teams at the tournament, so it will be a great experience for the team.
The junior girls will be hosting a small tournament at the school Sept. 26. There will be a booth so everyone is welcome to come and watch some volleyball and have some lunch.
