Too Cute for Jail

Craik and District Lions club past-president Katie Ball found herself on the inside looking out. She was arrested last Friday for “going postal”. (She works at the local post office.) While in the lockup she racked up more charges, including one for kidnapping Holly Vibert, who was also charged with “being too cute”. It was all in good fun though, part of the Lions Club’s Jail & Bail event June 8 to raise money for the Dog Guides program.

Having a Blast

CRAIK—A positive change in culture is underway at Craik School.

The proof: nearly perfect attendance at last Tuesday’s gymblast event.

For an action-packed two hours, students from grades six to 12 played a series of fast-paced, silly games.

Principal Charla Edwards said only three students failed to attend the gymblast. One of the absentees was taking their driver’s test.

From the first minute, it was full-speed ahead.

“No one can be good at this,” Edwards said as she watched students playing a variety of games with such names as beach-butt relay.

“Everyone has to work together and everyone is.”

Students were all active, excited and smiling as they worked together to generate as many points as possible for their teams.

More importantly, for the staff at Craik School, the students were engaged, which was the point of the whole event.

“Kids who don’t usually smile are smiling. I’m just loving watching them,” Edwards said.

Bet Honoured

Tim Broadis, manager of Riverbend Co-op’s Davidson location celebrates as Marie Nadeau makes good on a bet between Affinity Credit Union and Riverbend Co-op. She had to wear a Co-op T-shirt to work at Affinity’s branch in Davidson last Monday. Nadeau and Broadis held a challenge to see which organization could raise the most money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike fundraiser on May 29. The loser had to wear a T-shirt from winner’s organization. In total, $2,800 was raised with Riverbend employees raising $1,600 and Affinity’s staff coming up short, raising $1,200.
