Congratulation runners! You did such a fabulous job yesterday at Thomson Park. Everyone is so proud of the way you represented our school and how hard you worked through the season. Unfortunately, not everyone moves on to the cities and we'd like to thank you all for coming out and working so hard this season. Below is a list of all the students moving on next Wednesday. Please visit the link for all the information you will need. Runners need to bring back the letter they were given that asks whether they need a drive with a coach or if they will be going with a parent on  race day. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK TO SCHOOL MONDAY! 

We will be having two more practices next week for all running club members on Monday and Tuesday. See you there everyone and congratulations again! 

Finalists

Brian, LJ, Chidera, Alin, Gage, Maxwell G, Maxwell I, Samantha, Therese, Alexis, Audrey, Asiana, Chloe, Jacquelyn, Elizabeth, Ayana, and Norah. 

Cross Country City Finals Info

Running Club Cancelled for Friday

Due to coach shortages, we are unable to run practice tomorrow. We will see all running club and cross members for our final run on Monday (if there are no conflicts we may add a Tuesday run as well). 

Cross-Country- HEADS-UP!

We hope you're reading this as you prepare to head to bed for a nice long sleep. Just a heads up, we will NOT be using our purple Clairlea tent tomorrow. One of our coaches will be arriving at the park at 930am and will set up the blue tent at the same location as last week! All grade 3 runners arriving with parents will be receiving their jerseys and bibs when the tent arrives. See you there! Go PANTHERS!

October 20 - East Finals + October 26 City Finals Info

Our next meet will take place back at Thomson Park this Thursday. According to our convenor, the courses will change slightly due to some issues with the races last week. We have not been made aware of these changes yet. Stay tuned. 

Below we've attached the schedule for Oct.20. 

*Please note, Grade 3 boys race first, at 10am. *

You will also notice slots for fun runs. We are only taking competitors back to the meet. 

We have a bus booked for this event. Any student who needs a place on the bus will have one. However, the grade 7&8 races take place after the bus departs the park at 1:40pm and as such, these students will need to be escorted by parents/volunteer drivers back to school. 

(Thursday's weather forecast looks cold and rainy. Something to keep in mind as you rare making your arrangements). 

Coming home tomorrow is a form that will need to be completed by parents for Tuesday.  The form will indicate whether you will be transporting your child (and others?) to the meet or if they need a spot on the bus or if they can go with a volunteer driver at the end of the day.

Information for CITY FINALS on October 26th, at Centennial Park in Etobicoke, has not been shared as of yet. We will be posting that info as soon as it comes in, likely later in the week. 

We have gotten our hands on the Centennial courses for grades 4-6 and 7-8 only. We're unable to load them to the blog today so we will send the routes home with runners tomorrow. 

As always, should you have any questions or concerns please reach out to any of our coaches. 

Go PANTHERS!

SUNDAY - 10:30am - Thomson Park Practice

 Good Morning Panthers! 

Bundle up and tie up those laces! A couple coaches will be at the STARTING line at 10:30 this morning. We recommend that parents park in the FIRST lot closest to Lawrence Ave. (on race day this past week, we directed you to the 2nd lot which was closest to our purple tent and the finish line). Save yourself some time and park in the first lot.  Once parked, you'll look for a narrow entrance to the dog park and you will see playgrounds situated on the left and the power lines to the right. Walk down the paths to see us at the base of the hill. We will primarily be working the hills. Runners who wish to run their course may have to do so with their caregiver as there are not enough bodies to supervise through the paths. See you soon!

Did you know?

You may not recall that Running Club will continue to run until October 26. Anyone who has been signed up for the club is welcome to continue participating, even if they are not competing in the meets. Hope to see you all there Monday morning! 

PRACTICE - Cross-Country - Thomson Park - Sunday, Oct. 16

 FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN PRACTICING THE ROUTE AT THOMSON PARK THIS SUNDAY, PLEASE JOIN US! 

FROM 10:30am-11:30am you will find some of your coaches at the starting line. We will be working that HILL!! Come out to race your friends -- it will be a good time. 

If you'd like to send an email to let us know you're coming, please do.

East Qualifier Results

NO running club on FRIDAY!

A great big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to all the runners who came out to Thomson Park today! 

The energy was incredible. We couldn't have had such a great day if it weren't for all the amazing parents who pitched in and made great things happen. We are also so proud of our Cairlea students who represented Clairlea in the best light possible. Way to go PANTHERS! 

No running club tomorrow morning. 

See you Monday and Wednesday! 

Cross Country Info for October 13th

 The info below was sent home on a white paper today! 

Please read it if you haven't already. 

TRANSPORTATION:

BUS

All runners who indicated they need a spot on the BUS are asked to arrive at school no later than 8:50am, on Thursday, October 13. In the big gym,

they will check in with their coaches, and settle in to wait to be loaded on the bus. The bus will depart

Clairlea at approximately 9:15am and will arrive at Thompson Park by approx 9:40am. The first

race (gr.3 boys) is scheduled for 10:30.

VOLUNTEER DRIVERS

Thank you to all those who volunteered to drive students to and from the meet. If you have NOT been

contacted, we will not be needing your services. Volunteer drivers are asked to come to the big

gym by 9am. We will depart for Thompson park with our car loads once the bus is on it’s way.

There are 2 entrances to Thompson Parks Parking lots. It will be best to park in the 2nd further

lot from Lawrence Ave., as it is closest to our Clairlea Tent...and the washrooms! 

RUNNERS with PARENTS

Runners who are going to and from the park with their parents only are asked to arrive at the park

at least 45 min before their race time. When arriving at the park, they will need to head to our Clairlea

tent(s) closer to the finish line, and check in with the coaches to obtain their time-chipped bib and Clairlea

wear. Runners with parents are welcome to stay the whole day to support the team, however,

families wishing to get their child back to school may do so. - PLEASE let your coaches know

when students are leaving the park and be sure to return their Clairlea wear. If you do not plan to send your child back to school and you’d like to keep them for the day,

PLEASE call the school and advise the office. 

CLOTHING + Spirit Wear

Please keep a watch on the weather and dress appropriately for the day. Dressing in layers is encouraged. BRING EXTRA SOCKS as the grass will be wet. If there is rain in the forecast, students who have rain boots are encouraged to

wear them and pack their runners. If boots are not an option, perhaps consider bringing an extra pair of runners, if possible. Maybe consider an umbrella!!

Those who did not order cross-country t-shirts or spirit wear will be offered an alternative jersey or

Clairlea tee. If students have Clairlea spirit wear from former years, they are invited to wear it! 

FOOD

Students need to pack a healthy, litterless lunch. They are encouraged to have a nice filling breakfast as

well. Don’t forget to label your water bottle!

AT THE PARK

Our tent(s) will be situated closer to the finish line. There will be grass space around us where students

will hang out during the day. A selection of sports equipment will be brought to the park but students are

reminded that this is a long day for most and need to be prepared to fill their time with activities that

enable them to represent Clairlea in a positive light. Students who behave in a manner that does not

respect our Clairlea code of conduct may be pulled from the day and transported back to school. To help

pass the time, students are invited to bring activities like cards, writing/colouring tools, books, etc. 

RETURNING TO SCHOOL

Should the races remain on schedule, all runners needing a spot on the bus in grades 3-6 will be

boarding by 1:40pm. We will monitor the grade 7 races to see whether they will need to be escorted back in carloads.

Grade 7/8 runners have been assigned a seat in a parent volunteer vehicle, with the last runners

returning to Clairlea by 3:30pm.

Cross Country and Running Club

Tomorrow morning we will meet like last week, at the intermediate basketball courts. Please arrive no later than 8:10am as we will be providing runners with information about Thursdays meet at Thompson Park. As we will be running on potentially wet grass, please don't forget an extra pair or two of socks.

See you there! 

Gr. 7/8 Boys' Soccer Tournament Info

On behalf of Coach Maxime, I would like to remind all team members to come to school as usual tomorrow. Bringing with you everything you need, including shin guards, lunch, snacks and water.  Parents please make note of the fact that Clairlea's last game starts at 3pm and probably won't finish until close to 4pm. That will make our arrival time back at Clairlea between 430-445 depending on traffic. If you scroll down you will find the tournament schedule.

Unfortunately, one of our volunteer drivers is no longer able to assist with transportation to and from the tournament. If there are any parents who would be able to assist, could you please email me at:

jason.church@tdsb.on.ca

We're looking forward to seeing all the hard work payoff tomorrow, Go Panthers!

Once again on behalf of Coach Maxime, there will be a practice afterschool today at 330-430.

Cross Country + Running Club

We have 2 practices left before our big meet at Thompson Park next week. After we've signed in and warmed up, we will be heading over to Edge Park for our next two practices to work on running hills, sprints, and getting used to running on grass. It would be wise to pack a change of socks in case the grass is wet! See you Wednesday! 

** If you have yet to submit your permission forms, please do that this week!**

Grade 7/8 Boys' Soccer

On behalf on Coach Maxime, I would like to remind the team about their practice after school today from 330-430. Happy Monday everyone!

Practice for both teams will be on Monday, October 17th after-school from 3:30-4:30pm! 

Running Club and Cross Country Update

 As mentioned yesterday, runners had a chance to run their distance today, as fast as they could. Those who came in within the required timeframe made the cross-country team.  Those who did not make it in the required time are invited to come to the meet but will participate in the Fun Run which is a non-competitive, shorter route and is just for fun! Competitors are coming home with a blue permission form and fun run participants are coming home with an orange permission form. Please bring these to this Friday's practice!

There were some runners who did not come today. They will have one more opportunity this Friday morning to run their distance. 

** Running Club will continue to run until the final cross Country meet (October 26)** All students are welcome and encouraged to come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday even if they are not going to the meet. (there may be the odd practice when we only ask competitors to be present)**

** All runners who are competing are EXPECTED at EVERY practice going forward. Missed practices may result in the removal from the team. Competitors are expected to speak to their coaches should they be away. **

Terry Fox Update

Running Club - Grade 3-8 ONLY

 WEDNESDAY Morning practice this week will be for grades 3-8 ONLY. Grade 1 and 2's can take a break for this day unless coming with a sibling.  Grades 3-8 runners will be running their allotted distance for an opportunity to be on the cross country team. Permission forms for all those who make it will be coming home on Tomorrow!

Intermediate Girls' Soccer

This week's practice schedule:

Tuesday, September 27

Wednesday, September 28

Thursday, September 29

To Race or NOT to Race...

Students in Grades 3-8 who have been working hard in the running club have been given some information to think about over the next couple of days. 

Going forward, everyone has 3 OPTIONS:

Option 1: I want to continue coming to Running Club for fun and exercise! I have NO interest in competing at the meet this year. 

Option 2: I want to come to the meet on October 13, but I only want to do the FUN RUN - (this is an easier route, which is not a race but gives the kids a taste in case they would like to compete next year.) Students cannot choose to do both fun run and competitive.

Option 3: I want to compete in the meet on October 13.

Those interested in Options 2 or 3 will be invited to the meet as long as they can run their allotted distance. In order for the day to run as smoothly as possible, we are unable to take those who need to walk. 

This Wednesday's practice is VERY important! We will be talking with all runners in hopes to get an idea of who will be going to the meet for options 2 or 3.  Permission forms will go out before the end of this week! 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to send them our way!

Watch the video below to see some of our present and past Clairlea teachers holding a 3min plank!!

Well, later on in April, Mr. Church challenged us to increase the time to 3 minutes and we're  excited to say, the time is NOW!   Whether you choose a low, forearm plank or an extended hand plank, remember to keep your core tight and don't forget to breathe! 

How to get through the 3 minutes:

- play your favourite song

- do it with  family

In the list below you will find some great ideas to keep your family moving while at the same time really focussing on togetherness. This week, try to pick at least one activity to do each day with your family, if you can squeeze in more than one, well that would be great!

2. Do a circuit workout in the house, driveway or yard
3. Take a family bike ride
4. Head to a high school track and do bleacher runs

Challenge #9

EXERCISE CHALLENGE

It's time to put your thinking caps on.  We're looking to our Clairlea students to have their input on Junes Fitness Activities.

 Here's how it will work: 

This week, we want you to select your favourite exercise moves and create a 5 minute fitness blast routine.  Don't forget to try out your own routine and make sure to send them in to your gym teachers by Friday.  We will review all the routines and those selected will be used as part of Junes fitness activities. 

Remember:

• create a routine that does NOT require equipment but rather everyday household items (should you wish to incorporate items into your routine).
• ensure your routine can be done in limited space 
• try to create a routine that focuses on the whole body
• get your family involved...ask for input!
• you DO NOT need to send in a video of your routine - but you can if you wish!
• send your routine outline to jason.church@tdsb.on.c  OR jessica.lowen@tdsb.on.ca
