Four grade five classes from E.G Wahlstrom participated in their annual ski trip to Little Smoky last week.
Judging by the beaming smiles on the kids faces, an excellent time was had by all. The weather cooperated as well with warm sunny days for the two days that classes skied. E. G. Wahlstrom plans to continue this annual fieldtrip.

Well it feels like spring, if this is true or not remains to be seen. Hopefully with Feburary going out ‘like a lamb’, March will not ‘come in as a lion’.

High Prairie School Division with safety in mind, has signed all the school bus drivers in the Slave Lake area for another bout of First Aid.
This happens every three years and apparently if you are a school bus driver in this division, you must have it. I’m told if you don’t have it you don’t have a job.

A woman and man get into a car accident. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt.
After they crawl out of the wreckage, the woman says, "Wow, look at our cars - there's nothing left! Thank God we are all right. This must be a sign from Him that we should be friends and not try to pin the blame on each other."
The man replies, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely."
The woman points to a bottle on the ground and says, "And here's another miracle. Somehow this bottle of Scotch from my back seat didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this Scotch and celebrate our good fortune."
Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, and chugs about a third of the bottle to calm his nerves. He then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"
The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police..."

If something looks amiss in this weeks paper, it may be due to the absence of our valued editor Joe McWilliams. Joe has been taken out of service by a nasty cold, leaving all of us here at The Leader a little confused and without direction.
We wish him a speedy recovery, and are shocked at the amount of work left for us by his absence.
