The Grade 12 Spiritual class retreat was held at Waskesiu Lake on Sept 18th. The morning session was lead by Patrick Preheim. Patrick is the pastor of Nutana Park Mennonite Church in Saskatoon. The theme of the retreat was "Who will you be in the world?" Patrick lead the grade 12's through a series of spiritual practices that they could continue practicing throughout their lives. Larry Epp lead the students through an exercise focusing on what the student's value in their lives and how they want to be remembered. The afternoon activity was student lead by Eric, Landon, Tyler, Jaye, Matt R. and Meghan. The students spent time going between quiet meditative activities and loud physical activities like backwards football and ultimate frisbee. Other activities included boardgames, disc golf, a trip to the driving range and time to 'chill' on the beach. It was a great day 'off' from traditional school!
