This Tuesday, Aug. 27, marked the last barbeque in the park for the Summer (proceeds went to the Flagstaff Food Bank); a sad goodbye meaning that summer, too, is almost coming to an end.
Kids return to school next week and soon the local theatre will have movies playing again.
The Daysland Library was prompt to announce their September after-school activities and crafts for a couple different age groups on different days in the school week.
Some of the crafts are aimed toward fall and harvest, another true sign Summer is coming to an end.
A huge congrats to Daysland’s own Madison Mikla for completing the WISEST (Women in Scholarship, Engineering, Science, and Technology), research that was conducted by 41 Grade 11 students this summer at the University of Alberta.
Participants work as paid research assistants on a project in an area that is underrepresented for their gender for six weeks in July and August, where they do research in the College of Natural and Applied Sciences. What a huge opportunity and accomplishment!
On to more exciting news, Daysland’s own Corrie Vanvuuren got the first hole-in-one at the Daysland golf course this last week when he swung at hole number three. Nice swinging, the cloudy guys sure did not affect his swing that day.
