Girls' Grade 5/6 Soccer MOVING ON UP!

Congratulations to our grade 5/6 girls' soccer team.  They played beautifully at today's tournament winning all three games and only conceding one goal all day long.  Their conduct at the tournament was unmatched and we are so proud of them.

We are very excited to be moving on to the Eastern Semifinals on October 18th.  Families are more than welcome to attend the tournament and if any parents are interested in driving, please let me know by emailing me at rebecca.purvis@tdsb.on.ca. 

Congratulations Girls!

Running Club

We are very excited about our upcoming cross country meet on Thursday, October 17. 

Unfortunately, due to the late date change, we are having a very difficult time securing bussing.  We are working on it right now and hope that we can find an available bus. In the event that we can not, we are looking for a number of parent volunteers to drive our athletes to and from Thompson Park on that date.  If you are available to help out, please send an email to rebecca.purvis@tdsb.on.ca, stephanie.bauman@tdsb.on.ca or michelle.carson@tdsb.on.ca. 

Thanks for your support!

Hi Team!

So it looks as though mother nature is really trying to wash away all the grime from winter.  With another week looking soggy we will still try to get some practice time in. Monday practice after school is on for 315-430 and looking like the best day of the week. Tuesday is a possibility which will will discuss tomorrow, and Wednesday looks ugly. Hope everyone had a great weekend, see you all tomorrow!

Great practice this morning ladies!!
However, at this point in our season, it's important for everyone to be at practice. We only had 6 girls today. Not good.
