ALIDA - The Oxbow Prairie Horizons School 2023 graduates wanted to leave a mark, a legacy.
They have chosen to donate their excess funds from their graduation fundraising to the following: the Oxbow Fire Department as a gesture of appreciation for the use of the fire trucks in the parade; the ambulance fund through the R.M. of Enniskillen as it is a required necessity that will benefit all the communities in the area; and the Alida Lions Club in appreciation for using their picnic tables.
The OPHS Grads of 2023 appreciate all those who helped them raise funds and everyone who helped participate in celebrating their accomplishments.

Lacie Nilsen of Regina and Kelsey Rydberg of Estevan joined the family on Sunday to spend some time visiting with everyone.
Harvest is well underway in the area now. Let’s hope they can keep going and that any rain can hold off until harvest is completed, although we can still use the moisture. The dust from the combine and the smoky air make it feel and smell like fall is here. Do take care when out in the fields.
