Marilyn Poitras, Paddle Prairie School 5 gold medals!

A clear sky, mixed with sunshine and smiles ruled the day at the 28th annual Northland Games on May 29th at Grouard Northland School. Over 500 students from 10 schools: Grouard Northland School, Mistassiniy School, St. Theresa School, Paddle Prairie School, Dr. Mary Jackson School, Bishop Routhier School, Peerless Lake School, Little Buffalo School, Gift Lake School, Pelican Mountain School and Atikameg School (Kee Tas Kee Now Tribal Council) competed for divisional track and field glory. Junior high and high school athletes competed in events such as long jump, high jump, shot put, discus and various running disciplines. Elementary students participated in events which include the 40 metre dash, barrel toss, standing long jump, soccer kick, sack race and three legged race.


In addition to track and field, kids created hula hoops with plumbing tools supplied by Cenovus Energy and Home Hardware and families lined up for face painting at another table. Health promotion was also prevalent during the games. School Food Services and Alberta Health Services served smoothies made with real fruit. The smoothies were funded by Northland School Division’s Health and Wellness grant.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who made the Northland Games possible. A special thanks to Gift Lake School students Benny Yellowknee and Evan Anderson for helping to run the Soccer Kick event! And congratulations to gold, silver and bronze winners and to all participants!
