HMS hosted TNB's Young Company today and also an honored guest; the lieutenant governor of New Brunswick, Jocelyne Roy-Vienneau. TNB's rendition of "The Eighth Fire" was a very unique and artistic play and it also features an all-indigenous cast of dancers, singers and storytellers. After the play, the actors took questions from students and so did her honor, Ms Roy-Vienneau! It was a great morning of learning for all! To see photos visit The

Congrats to Alex Leslie, new Anglophone North Grade 8 chess champion and to Becca Preston, third place finisher at the grade seven level at this weekend's Chess Championships in Rexton. Way to go!
Terry is proud of the vast array of colours in his new bag of 144 crayons. Billy feels a little envious, having only 48 crayons in his pencil case. But he believes he has a better chance than Terry of choosing a red-shaded crayon if each boy pulls a crayon from his pencil case without looking. Each boy has 12 different colours: brown, black, red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, white, grey, silver, and gold.
