Baldonnel PAC and school community is proud to announce that the installation of their new playground has begun and should be completed in the coming days. This is only the second wheelchair accessible playground in the whole Peace region. After almost 3 years of fundraising and planning; it is great to see the hard work and dedication of so many pay off! The official grand opening/ribbon cutting of the playground is scheduled for Tuesday October 30th during lunch.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this project!

On May long weekend, Derek Hadland, travelled to Quesnel for the BC Jr. High School Rodeo finals where he competed in Goat Tying and Ribbon Roping. Derek did really well in the Goat tying placing in all three performances. The calves were fast and furious in the Ribbon Roping. Derek was the only roper to catch in this event on the last day. His partner Jenna Hiebert from Upper Pine ran her heart out to the finish line. At the awards ceremonies on Sunday May 20th, Derek and Jenna were named BC Ribbon Roping Champions!

Students and Staff at Baldonnel Elementary have put together 150 shoeboxes full of supplies and gifts for Operation Christmas Child. A very impressive contribution considering there are only 124 students at Baldonnel! The shoeboxes will be sent to less fortunate children overseas. Students studied citizenship and other countries and their economies this year as part of class projects which has made a deeper connection for them with Operation Christmas Child. This is a wonderful example of students that are best for the world!
