It can be hard to find a babysitter Valentine91Ƶs Day when everyone else is in the same boat, so Shuswap Middle School (SMS) students are helping out by welcoming young ones aboard.

As a fundraiser for the French Immersion 8 upcoming trip to Quebec, the students are holding a Babysitting Night to keep children safe and occupied while canoodling couples enjoy a romantic night out.

Hosting the collaborative babysitting event will be the 91Ƶsuper fun91Ƶ 13 and 14 year-old students, along with teacher supervision from trip organizers Kristy Ross and Roni Wocknitz.

The evening will feature a variety of engaging activities for kids of all ages, including sports and recreation in the gym, and crafts and games in the cafeteria, with pizza and juice boxes also being served to fuel the fun. They will generally only be for kids ages four and up, but Wocknitz said they could make exceptions if older siblings will be there as well.
