WES Remembers

P1020817

On Friday November 9th Winkler Elementary School took time to remember and reflect on the wars that took place, and the soldiers who lost their lives for our Country and freedom. Principal Cindy Hamilton began the ceremony by welcoming students, staff and visitors. The grade 8 band played O’Canada and closed with God Save the Queen. A video was played to remember the past 100-years, various choirs sang songs, and classes read poems all in memory of the lives that were lost and those that were saved. A big thank you to all the staff and students who were involved. Lest we forget.

WES WILDCATS BOYS SOCCER

Boys Team BlurredSM

Congratulations to the Boys Soccer Team on a very successful season. Thursday, October 11th the Wildcats took on Parkland in the Quarter Final game playing on snow and ice at the Storm field. It was a very defensively minded game which saw only 1 goal be put in by Kam. Jaren got the shutout for the team. Winning Thursdays match sent the Wildcats to the Final Tournament on Saturday. The Wildcats played off against the Stingers from Prairie Dale in the Semi-Final Match. Again, snow, ice, and rain were factors along with gale force winds, making it difficult to control the ball. After the first half both teams were tied 1-1 thanks to a goal scored by Eh K. In the second half Prairie Dale scored to make it 2-1. The Wildcats never gave up, coming close on several occasions, even into the final minutes of the game. In the end the boys team fell 2-1. Great season boys! Much improvement was seen in all players.
