On January 13th, Hume Elementary hosted a district volleyball tournament for grade 4-6 students in the surrounding schools.  The energy, excitement and fun in the Hume gymnasium was brilliant.  Good vibes all around! Some excellent volleyball being played along with students taking some big risks out there. Great to be getting back to these sorts of events.

A thank you to all the elementary schools that came out for the tournament: Hume, St. Joseph's, Salmo, Rosemont, and Blewett.
