A select group of students attempt to eat a bowlful of frozen berries as the first challenge in the Cobra Games, a three-day celebration of the end of the school year and the end of the Weyburn Junior High, during an assembly on Thursday to kick the Games off. Numerous games and activities were set up Friday for all of the students to be involved in, and on Monday, students helped staff move equipment out of the school before having a gym blast in the afternoon. This was all to mark the end of the Weyburn Junior High, which closes its doors forever this week as the junior high grades move to the Comp in September.
