Horton In The News: 

 

Gr. 9 student Scotia Broome, a member of the Wolfville Tritons, is training and fund raising to participate in The Big Swim to raise money for Brigadoon Village. Scotia is no stranger to swimming challenges as she was part of a relay team that swam the English Channel last September.

The Girls’ Rugby team battled back from a 15-0 deficit to beat the Avon View Avalanche. The team, which has a couple of players on the Team Canada shortlist was able to make 2 conversions. The team also competed in Avon View’s annual Rugbyfest which not only includes some regular season games but is also an opportunity to celebrate the sport. Horton beat NKEC 45-17.

Five Horton music students/acts were lauded in Wendy Elliot’s column about the recent Stars of the Festival concert. Included in her column were Kaela Biro, barbershop quartet Horton High Tops, Peng sisters Chantal and Charlotte, Olivia Veale and Kate Barr.

Library:

 

Week 4 of the SYNC free audiobook program: May 17-23

Both of this week’s books feature strong girls who meet challenges to their self-assurance with a balance of standing up for themselves and accepting the support of those who wish them well. Being Jazz is the memoir of teen Jazz Jennings who recognized that, to be herself, she needed to express the girl obscured by a body determined to be male at birth. Saving Montgomery Sole features a 16-year-old girl who feels out of place in her town, or maybe in her life. They can be downloaded from the Leisure Reading page of the library website.
