The Rosthern Midget WheatKings iced a young team that were short in numbers and experience.  The team did not include any 3rd year players but was made up of a core of enthusiastic and willing first and second year players.  They endured a difficult beginning to the season but slowly signs of progress emerged and by the end of the year they successfully won thier first playoff series and were very competitive with the top team in the league in round two.  With the addition of a few more dedicated players and a continued desire to improve, the Midget WheatKings should see great improvement in next years season!

On January 20 and 21st, the 2017-2018 theatre arts class performed Brian D. Taylor's The Mad Tea Party as their Winter Theatre production. The play brought together many of Lewis Caroll's Wonderland characters in a new story about tea, turmoil, and time. The students did an excellent job and had audiences laughing at their on-stage antics!

Adventopoly finished in January with a grand total of $3,698.05 raised! We can now begin the fun part: giving the money away to the organizations on our ALSO trips, for whom it was collected. Locally we are anticipating giving some proceeds to the Rosthern Food Bank and MCC Saskatchewan for relief kits. In Calgary, we will donate to MCC AB for their ongoing efforts in the city. In Oliver, BC the money will go to the Gleaners to continue their food aid work. Our money in Alabama will once again go to the hard-working people of the Goodwill Missionary Baptist Church, and in Guatemala, we will donate to the ongoing work of MCC to be used where needed most. Students raised the money by organizing events like broomball tournaments and selling pies.   Staff chipped in with some auction items, and in the end we exceeded our goal of $3000. With these proceeds from Adventopoly, we will try to bring some Christmas cheer into the service week season this spring.
