LUSELAND — Luseland had many new faces from Sept 14 to 19. Students and teachers from St. Hubert School, a suburb of Montreal, spent some time with students in Grades 10-12 in Luseland.
Locally, the exchange students and their twins visited the Luseland Museum, the Holman elevator, a tour of Luseland and looked at farming equipment and grain bins.
With packed filled days of fun and adventures, the Quebec students explored much more of Saskatchewan, including an Enbridge pipeline, Provost Auction Market, the Smiley Hutterite colony, a stop in Macklin to learn the popular prairie game bunnock, the bison farm at Denzil and the Holy Rosary shrine at Reward.
A trip to North Battleford introduced students to the Allen Sapp Museum and the Western Development Museum.
Students had a free day on the Sunday, yet some students got to experience a little more, as some visited the sand hills by Leader, Drumheller, Alta. or the lake.
On the Monday night, a potluck supper was held in the Luseland school gym for all of the families, with plenty of food, and fun games. The hosts decided to deem the Quebec students honorary Saskatchewanians.
Claire Patton, a Grade 11 student, was excited to show off what her family does for a living when they visited for a combining experience. Emma Greter, who is in Grade 10, said she enjoyed the free day when her family travelled to Leader to the sand hills. Both girls were happy with their partner, as they had a lot of the same hobbies, and were able to have a lot of fun.
The Luseland students will be travelling to Quebec in October, and many of them are looking forward to what adventures they will be experiencing.
