Congratulations to the figure skaters from Shawville who attended the Vaudreuil Invitational this past weekend. I saw photos and video on Facebook of the performances of both Molly Dowe and Kenzie Smith, and they did an amazing job. A big shout out to Molly, Kenzie, and all of their friends who competed this weekend.
I hope all of the local students, teachers, and school staff enjoyed their March Break this past week. A group of students from Pontiac High School spent their break on a trip to Italy, which I’m sure was an incredible experience. Hoping they had a wonderful time and we are so glad they made it safely home.
Birthday wishes are going out to Charlie Milford, turning two on Mar. 12, and to Faith Hamilton, also celebrating on the 12th. Happy birthday to Maddox and Zayden Alexander, as well as Donna Provost, all on the 13th. Special 80th birthday wishes are going out to Ellard Kennedy, as he marks this big birthday on the 15th. We also have birthday wishes going out to Ryan Woermke, celebrating on St. Patrick’s Day. Blessings to all marking special occasions this week.
