Our first tournament match in the Northeast Kingdom. Colebrook vs. Canaan. Both teams did great. We had snacks, prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and the over all winner had bragging rights. Walter on The Knights of the Roundtable (Canaan's team) won 2nd place with points but Colebrook won the whole tournament with winning points. Congrats Colebrook! Till we meet again. The next tournament we would like to open it to other schools and areas around the Northeast Kingdom. Thank you all who participated in the first ever NEK Tournament.

Hello, We are excited to announce that the Kiwanis Club of Colebrook is sponsoring a Snow Sculpture Contest for the upcoming Winter Carnival in February. This year, the contest is open to all schoolchildren in the area, from grade 8 and below. We encourage your students to showcase their creativity by creating a snow sculpture in front of each of your respective schools. The theme for this year's contest is "February holidays and events". Your students can choose from a variety of ideas to depict in their sculptures such as Super Bowl and local sports playoffs, snowmobiling, Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, Leap Day or even school winter break. We believe that this theme will give your students the opportunity to learn more about different cultures and events that take place in February. We leave it to individual school administrations to decide when the children can work together and create their masterpieces. However, we encourage you to set aside some time for the students to work on their sculptures. We would like all sculptures to be completed by February 23rd. However, if there are any weather issues, we can be flexible with the deadline. Once your school's sculpture is complete, please take some pictures and email them to colebrookclub@gmail.com. Our team of Winter Carnival judges will then visit your school to see the work of your students firsthand. We believe that this will be an excellent opportunity for your students to showcase their talents and creativity. Finally, we would like to inform you that prizes will be distributed to schools after the return from Winter Break. We believe that this contest will be a fun and educational experience for your students, and we thank you for taking part in this event. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at 6033315139 or at jennyrph@aol.com Have fun! Jenny Keazer Kiwanis Club of Colebrook Presiden
