PREECEVILLE - The Family Activity Challenge was held from Feb. 18 to 27.
“This is a simple idea meant to encourage families of all kinds and sizes to spend some quality time together,” said Karolyn Kosheluk, co-ordinator.
The only requirement was that the activity either included literacy in some form, such as reading, writing, or crafting, or included physical activity such as sliding, walking or skating. There were 136 entries from families from the area. Prizes were a $25 gift certificate towards a meal. There were four winning families represented by: Ashley Vance, Juanita Ivanochko, Danielle Stasiuk, and Jennifer Sjuberg.
“We have run this kind of challenge in the past and many families enjoy participating in it. The dates coincide with the February break when children are off from school. It’s so great to see all the pictures and videos that many people send with their entries. Even with the cold weather, families were still outside sliding, ice fishing, and enjoying new calves and baby bunnies. Other entries showcase some fantastic craft ideas, cooking lessons, and musical performances,” concluded Kosheluk.
The Family Activity Challenge was sponsored by the SPE Family Resource Centre which has provided programs for children and families in the Sturgis, Preeceville and Endeavour area for more than 25 years.
