Good Evening,
I hope everyone enjoyed the nice holiday weekend. I don't know why, but this weekend really seemed like a long weekend!
Thank Yous
to all of the Gr 6 teachers for their time and energy towards the Adventure Jordan trip. I hope your sons/daughters were exhausted and excited...I saw a lot of tired but happy faces going to the buses last week!
FYI's:
Grade 7 and Grade 8 girls are invited to help with the Reclaim Childhood event on May 17. This is an annual mini-sports festival event organized as a HS Community Service project for Iraqi, Palestinian, Jordanian, and Syrian girls. MS girls are encouraged to help organize and participate to begin gaining an understanding of how our time and energy can impact others. Girls who are interested can contact Mr. Tschumperlin for sign up information. Sign up will be on a first come, first serve basis.
Girls Basketball----Gr 7 and Gr 8 girls who are interested in playing basketball are invited to a basketball clinic hosted by the HS girls basketball players and Ms. Lewis. The clinics will be held on May 10, 24, and 31 from 9:00-10:30. Girls should contact Ms. Lewis if they have any questions.
Adventure Jordan medical release forms were given to students last week. (see links below if your form did not make it home) Students should return the signed forms this week to their advisory teacher. Teachers will travel with these forms so it is imperative all students return the forms in a timely manner. Unfortunately, if a student does not return their form, we will not be able to take them on the trip with us.
If you have any questions regarding your grade level trip, please contact:

Hello Everyone,
Spring Community Sports Calendar
And Lastly...
As we get closer to the end of the year, things will get hectic and busy. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns here at the end of the year. We are entering a stressful time of year for students...everyone will be busy....some are leaving.....some are staying. Regardless if a student is leaving or staying it is hard for students to see friends go. As the adults in their lives, it is important we stay in close communication so we can work together to keep things upbeat, positive, and in perspective for all the kids. Of all times, this is when we all need to be working together. :)
Have a good evening,
Rhonda

Hello Everyone,
As we head into May we would like to take advantage of this beautiful spring weather in Jordan. Over the next month there will be a wide range of sports and activities available after school and on weekends. This will be a much different format than in the past when spring sports was geared towards preparing our athletes for their fall seasons. This year we are focusing on community.
Students (8th-12th grade), parents and teachers are all welcome to participate in these activities. It doesn't matter if you have played the sport your whole life or have never played before. If you don't have the gear or equipment, no worries we'll provide it. The goal of this month is to get outside and stay active.
I have attached a calendar that details the schedule for the next 4 weeks. On this schedule you'll see that the following activities are offered:
Badminton
Basketball
Cardio Core Workout
Jiu Jitsu
Ping Pong
Running
Soccer
Tennis
Ultimate Frisbee
Volleyball
Yoga
The month of May is a tough month for students and teachers with exams and the final push until summer. The sports and activities offered this month are meant to give everyone a chance to step away for a hour or two and recharge.
To keep the body in good health is a duty. Otherwise, we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
