this month we will be continuing basketball intramurals as well as try outs for the junior girls and boys basketball team, which will be playing in an after school tournament in the beginning of March. The female team will be coached by Mr. Fernanes and the boys team will be coached by Mr. Winship. Both of these teams will have tryouts and cuts.
January I am happy to announce that in January we will have activities during nutrition break for each grade! Once a week the grade 1's and 2's will be able to participate in Zumba by one of our E.C.E's who is also a certified Zumba instructor. The grade 3's and 4's will be able to be part of basketball intramurals twice a week. Any student is welcome to come out and play. We had sign ups just before the winter holiday's and all students who signed up were put into teams so that we can start right when we get back to school. The grade 5's ad 6's will play together in their intramurals twice a week as well. In conjunction with this we will soon be hosting try outs for our junior basketball team. This will have try outs and cuts and those who are successful will participate in a round robin tournament in March after school. More information on dates and try outs will be posted later.

This month we started running club and had an absolutely amazing turn out, with close to 100 students participating. We run Tuesdays and Thursdays at second nutrition break. We will be continuing until the middle or end of October, depending on the weather.
October
This month we will be continuing with the running club which will come to a close at the end of the month with our Floradale relay competition that will take place Friday, October 28th. Storm the Yard, will be a relay race at the city field, whereby each team, consisting of three people will run around the field as many times as they can in thirty minutes. The grade ones and twos will be competing with each other, the grade threes and fours and then the grade fives and sixes. Each team will either be all girls or all boys and will be competing just with their own gender. There will be medals and or ribbons for each team, so everyone will be celebrated for participating. I will send flyers home before the event with the specific details. Parents and family are welcome to come and cheer their children on. It will take place during first and second nutrition break.
We will also be starting intramurals for grades 2-6 for European Handball and will be starting something special with the grade ones after running club is over. Stay tuned!
