Elementary schools learning the Northern way of life during Mini-Winterfest

The City’s Winterfest may have come and gone, but the elementary school’s mini-Winterfest is in full swing.

 

Loretta Dykun with the School District of Mystery Lake says part of the event is a competition. For half the day, the students compete in activites like snow-shoe racing, nail pounding, moose calling, and goose calling.

 

During the rest of the day students go to different work shops. Presentors teach story telling, trap setting, pelican making, traditional beading and crafts.

 

Mini-winterfest has been going on in the School District for about 10 years

 

Throughout March each elementary school participates in the activities on a different day. Today, Ecole Riverside School is joining in on the fun.
