On May 10, Waterloo Elementary School hosted the 24th annual Grade 2-3 math competition. This is a fun day for the students with the questions designed to make everyone think outside of the box! Nineteen teams of four students each representing schools from across the wide expanse of the Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB) arrived at Waterloo Elementary with pencils, erasers and calculators in hand. After being welcomed by their team host and receiving a welcome snack, the day began.

One of the pioneers who helped shape The Record through its sophomore years has died at the age of 78.
Hugh Doherty, a cub reporter in the 1950s while a student at Bishopâs University, and later editor-in-chief of The Sherbrooke Daily Record in the â60s, devoted his entire life to the pursuit of excellence in journalism. After stints with the Montreal Gazette, and as editor of the Victoria Daily Colonist, Doherty forged a long and successful career as a senior producer with the CBC.

At National Conference I attended two workshops. One was citizenship advocacy which talked about how to become an American citizen. The second was about military life with a focus on kids whose parents are often deployed because they are in the army. Both these workshops were very interesting to listen to. I also attended a round table discussion about healthy living and nutrition. There were about 30 delegates in this group and we had to come up with a plan to get future generations healthy and active.

It was an odd location for a press conference, but a fun one nonetheless: in a city bus!
On the sunny Friday morning of May 10, in the parking lot in front of the centre culturel de lâUniversitĂ© de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke 2013 unveiled the schedule of semifinals and final events while launching the ticket sales for those events.
Zigzag made the mood light and festive as usual, climbing onto the city bus, honking the horn loudly and bouncing up and down in the driverâs seat.

An elegant gathering was held on Friday evening at the Colby-Curtis Museum in Stanstead to celebrate the long-awaited reopening of the completely refurbished solarium. The project was begun last fall when the original century-old sunroom off the south side of the museum building was demolished. Eight months (and about $200,000) later, it is complete.

Bishopâs Alexander Fox and Jean-Christophe Gagnon of the Sherbrooke Vert & Or distinguished themselves at the 11th annual CIS East-West All-Star game Saturday featuring the top undrafted university football players.

However their performances were not enough as West rallied for an 18-17 lead that ended a three-year winning streak for the East at the annual CIS football prospects game and now leads the all-time series 7-4.
