RPS Challenge

Starting in April 2010, an annual competition was established by Charlebois Council at École Scott Bateman Middle School in The Pas - the Rock, Paper, Scissors Challenge. Every student in the school, which has an enrolment of about 365 students,  was able to participate as each class establishes its winner, who then moved on to a final round held at a school assembly.

The first annual event's finalists competed on April 26, 2010 as the student body looked on. Cash prizes were given to the three finalists. The overall winner also received a plaque, and a display plaque has been posted in the school.
