In 2003 Gymblast came to our school.  After they handed out a brochure about a Calbreak Trip that takes place over the Spring Break (Easter Holidays).  That year my brother decided to go on this trip with a friend.  He had a great time and recommended it to me and my friends. In 2005 my friends and I went on the California Breakaway trip.  Ever since there has been more and more students each year going from our area and school.

The SARM Trade Show is held each year during the Annual Convention in March.  This convention normally draws around 2,000 people with the majority being reeves, councillors and rural municipal administrators. The show attracts many different companies, government agencies and special interest associations for the benefit of the delegates.  We encourage you to take the opportunity to meet the present decision-makers of rural Saskatchewan, the people who direct the annual expenditure of nearly $200 million in municipal goods and services.

On March 11^th 2008, my Dad suggested that I would come to the convention for the evening entertainment.  That evening, I visited with my Dad and a couple other members from the R.M.  While I was there, we discussed about the latest graders.  At first, I wondered why I went but later on, I found it quite interesting, especially hearing it from a bunch of old technological illiterate men.  The new graders do not have a steering wheel or hydraulic levers, but instead is entirely controlled by two hand held joysticks.  At the convention they had this grader on display and beside it they had two replica controllers.  These controllers were set out for people like my Dad to test their ability to use them by following an obstacle course on the T.V. screen (similar to a nintendo racing video game).  My Dad, like many other men over the age of forty found it nearly impossible to stay on the “road.”  however, the younger men found it difficult but manageableto stay on the road the first time round. 

           After listening to my boyfriend, Justin, go on and on about how great Rich Dad Poor Dad is, I began to think of it not only on a personal level but also how it could be incorporated in to the educational system.  Because I do not have time to read the book, I was able to access more information about the book by watching and listening to youtube videos.  For those of you who have not heard about the book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, here is a video that helps explain its message: 

Do you think students should learn how to manage spending and investing money in school?
