7/8 Boys' Volleyball

Thanks to everyone who came to tryout! A list will be posted this afternoon of all the players welcome to come back and practice with the team. Next week (and unless otherwise noted for the following weeks) our practice schedule is:

Monday after school: 3:15 - 4:30 pm
Wednesday morning: 7:30 - 8:25 am
Thursday after school: 3:15 - 4:30 pm

Grade 6 Boys Volleyball Oct29 - Nov 2

Congratulations on making the Grade 6 Volleyball team. Next week we will be practicing Monday morning 715-815, Wednesday afternoon 315-415 and Friday morning 715-815.

Here are a few reminders for both players and parents. Playing on this team is a privilege not a right. Schoolwork comes first and conduct in the classroom, in the school and on the playground must be exemplary.  Failure to live up to the expectations set by the coaches and teachers will result in removal from the team.

If you have younger siblings in the school they should be going on the bus as usual or picked up as usual. The coaches are busy and cannot provide appropriate supervision for younger siblings. 
Your cooperation in this regard is very appreciated.

We are looking forward to a good season with a lot of skill and team building.  Please remember to check the athletics blog prior to coming to morning practices in the event that your coaches cannot make it in due to unforeseen circumstances. Cancellations will be posted no later than 630 am.  If there is no cancellation notice, consider practice to be on.

Have a great weekend. We are looking forward to seeing everyone Monday morning.

Go Panthers!!

Our next tryout is tomorrow, Thursday October 25th, after school from 3:15-4:30 pm. Please make sure you are dressed appropriately.

Cross COuntry Practice Schedule for Runners going to Citiies

Congratulations to ALL runners who ran at the Eastern Conference Finals at Thomson Park today. Ms. Carson kept sending us updates back at Clairlea to let us know how the races went and remind us that it's cold and windy, brrrrrrrrrr (no worries I was warm ans toasty in my classroom, he he he).
We had some outstanding finishes but most importantly is everyone ran their best race regardless of how you placed! We proud of all of you!

PRACTICES - If you're advancing to the city finals there will be an easy practice Friday morning for a quick 3 laps meet at 8:00 so you can get a little extra rest. If you're training both Saturday and Sunday on the weekend you may want to use tomorrow as a rest day (your decision).

SUNDAY PRACTICE  - If you're moving on to the cities we will meet at Centennial Park on Sunday afternoon to run the course. It helps a ton on race day to know and practice your course. Please come see me and tell me if you can make it.

PRACTICE NEXT WEEK - practices will be posted with soccer and football tournaments and practices being considered (such a busy time!!!)

The grade 8 girls have a playoff tie-breaker game Monday after school at Cedarbrook PS with the winner of that game moving on to the playoffs. With the mounting injuries, we will not be practicing Monday morning. For those girls that have not returned their jerseys to me, a) I'm not happy
