Grade 3FA and B were visited by a few geologists from Gold Corp mine in Red Lake today. As part of their Social Studies learning about rural industries in Ontario, this presentation helped us better understand what goes on in a mine. Thank you to Jamie Kristoff, Amanda Kuhelj and Tina Cliff for coming all the way to Dryden to help us in our learning. We got to mine cookies and check out some real rocks and tools geologists use. A special thank you to Goldcorp for the “swag”; a new bag, some colouring books, lanyards and bracelets. What a fun morning we had!

Intermediate Girls won gold in the Kenora Intermediate Invitational Tournament. A big thanks to Beaver Brae and St. Thomas Aquinas for organizing this event. The girls went undefeated in their round robin pool then continued on to capture gold against Open Roads in the finals. Great job girls!
