Acadia Valley News Jun 29

Reported by Yolanda Kuhn

As I sit down to write the news today a storm is rolling through town. It’s absolutely pouring, and the power is out. I’m feeling very thankful for the moisture. I will be taking the rest of July off from writing the news. Pat will try and send in the news next week and then The Echo will be taking holidays and there will be no paper on July 19th or 26th.
I would like to wish you all a fantastic July and you’ll hear from me again in August.

Congratulations to Ashton and Randi Kuhn on the birth of their son Henry Ace Kuhn who was born on June 23rd in Calgary.

Warren Peers School held their end of the year awards night on Monday. Students from grades four to nine received awards in sports and academics. The Mark Booker Award recognizes athletics and friendship. Even though Mark left us 25 years ago, his legacy lives on in those who are honoured enough to receive this award. Congratulations to Reese Skappak and Jasmine Palmer who received the award this year.

There’s been a lot of action out at Marshall Field this week. The Rec. Club purchased two ball shelters (dugouts) for the west field. We received sponsorship from RES and Landfine Wind to help offset some of the costs. Martin Grudecki Welding built the shelters and donated towards the project. Thank you to everyone who has worked hard over the past few weeks organizing the slow pitch tournament and getting Marshall Field and The M.D. Campground in tip top shape.  Thanks for reading this week, I will leave you with this quote from Alice Cooper “School’s-out-for-summer!!”.

Many former students with Mrs. Peers.
