The charity game between
the Battlefords Peewee AA
Barons and Battleford Central
School Staff and Friends held
last week may well become
an annual event.
Presented by the Battleford
Central School Me to We
Club, the game featured a
match up between the peewee
team regulars, who gave up
their regular practice time,
and a team of teachers, the
town’s mayor, some out-ofschool hockey talent and a
representative of Jumpstart,
to which the proceeds were
going.
BCS principal Tonya Lehman coached the school team,
assisted by vice-principal
Brian Hargreaves.
At an assembly at the
school Tuesday, Lehman
said the game was successful
enough that it could become
an annual event. To that announcement, the student body
of BCS cheered.
Brett Payne, owner of Canadian Tire North Battleford,
accepted a cheque for $1,505
on behalf of Jumpstart, which
is administered by Canadian
Tire. He was also able to
apply for and be granted an
additional $2,000 from the
larger organization to be
pooled with that raised by
BCS Me to We.
Also there for the presentation was Sherri Woolridge,
executive director of the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club.
Applications for Jumpstart
funding are made through the
Boys and Girls Club. In some
instances, added Payne, the
Boys and Girls Club can also
identify youth who would
benefit from the program.
Following the assembly,
the Me to We Club members
gathered in the school library
with Payne, Woolridge and
a number of teachers who
were also involved in the
hockey game for a group
photograph.
Cheryl Dyck, who is the
staff advisor for the Me to We
Club, said the idea to organize
a hockey game came from
kindergarten teacher Marilyn
Taylor.
