The Kenaston Library:
The Kenaston Library: The library has been a busy place having hosting the "Bear paw" show for children at the school, putting together a cool "Look and Seek" display, St. Patrick's day displays, and some awesome new books.
The library hosted a "Paint Night" fundraiser on Friday March 17th with a very good turn out and will once again be doing the fundraiser BBQ's down at the Riverbend Co-op this summer.
The library is undergoing some much needed renovation getting new windows, insulations, siding and doors. Next we will start on new steps and a wheelchair ramp. Once we get the outside looking better we can start on the inside. Any donations are welcome to complete this project.
Thank you to our Crossroads sponsors: (PDF Version)
Kenaston Mayor and Council:
Recently homeowners received a letter in the mail that states the new assessment value of their property set by the Saskatchewan Asset Management Agency (SAMA).
The way property taxes are determined is a direct result of this assessment value however it is not the determining factor. Property taxes are made up of two parts: the Education mill rate and the Village mill rate. The Village Council has no control over the Education mill rate but the Village sets their own mill rate.
The recent budget announcement has affected the Village revenues but not in a drastic manner.On behalf of the Village of Kenaston Mayor and Council

Learning Expo—Kenaston School
On Thursday, March 23rd, Kenaston School vibrated with energy and excitement as students of all ages showcased what learning meant to them.
The evening kicked off with a chilli, bun and cookie supper organized by Grade 9 health students, Jaxon Firby and Jaxon Boot, with contributions being made by Mrs. Menzies and the entire Grade 9 Health class, The Kenaston Co-Op, The Kenaston SCC, Tammy Powder, Jen Millsap, Kathy Zdunich, Tammy Owen, Darla Collins, Michelle Ringdal, Kristie Boot and Lori Gasper.
An invitation to the gym, lead the way to a colourful show by the Circus Club. Followed by opening comments from Greg McJannet (Principal of Kenaston School), Tara Rink (SCC Chair) and Guy Tetrault (Director of Sun West School Division). Guests were invited to check out displays, booths, and presentations in every corner of the building.
In Grade 1/2, young learners showcased how they use a variety of web-based tools to help them with their math and reading. A variety of methods of learning were showcased by the grade 3/4 class; from presentations on partner built bridges, constructed of popsicle sticks, to clay art displays that incorporated research on the topic of interest, to student created and presented videos on the many ways animals depend upon plants. Middle years students educated visitors on the component parts of a computer and their goal of building a functioning computer out of several broken ones. From play dough, straws and string, participants were challenged to build a bridge upon which a ping pong ball could slide.
On behalf of the Kenaston School Community Council, thank you to all of the parents and community members that attended the Learning Expo. And a special thank you to Kenaston School staff and students for the warm welcome of visitors in their school and for taking the time to show us how wonderfully different and personalized learning looks today.
