Fun was had by students in divisions 1-11 last week as they participated in learning how to curl during their PE sessions.
Exciting News
Our Competitive Volleyball teams have qualified for the Final Four tournaments at Garibaldi Secondary on Wednesday, November 27th (Boys) and Thursday, November 28th (Girls).
The boys are scheduled to play at 3:15pm versus Fairview on Wednesday. The girls are scheduled to play at 3:15pm versus MRCS on Thursday. The results of those games will determine their second game times for the last games of the season, either 5pm for the bronze game or 5:45 for the gold medal game (times approximate). Come on out and cheer the teams on! Go All Stars!
The student leadership club is initiating a blanket drive to support the local SPCA. If you have any blankets you would like to donate in any size, please send the blankets to the school with your child or drop them off in the front office hallway area where you see the television. Your support for this student project and the local SPCA will be greatly appreciated.
