SPORTS:  

1.   Congratulations to the girls hockey team for making it the CWOSSA semi final game.  In round robin play, the girls beat Monsignor Doyle in a must-win game by a score of 2-1.  Bri S scored the opening goal off a deflection from an Emerson O point shot.  With minutes to play, Maddi S scored top corner on a 2 on 1 play with the pass coming from Bri S.  Kayli S had an exceptional tournament in net.  In the semi final match, the girls lost a tough match to a very deep Elmira team. It was an excellent tournament and season for the girls.

Congratulations to Nolan G, Oliver S, Daria C, Stella K, Maks P, Justin R, and Abby F on their performances. A special shout out to Maks and Justin who made finals in both of their individual events and finished with top 10 times in the province. A huge congratulations also to Abby Fellinger on bringing home an OFSAA silver medal to the lions den for her 100m backstroke event. Wow! Incredible work team!  

3.   Congratulations to the Boys Curling team who represented our school at CWOSSA last Friday.  The competition was tough, but the boys managed to pull out a win in our second game.  While the boys did not win CWOSSA, they played against some very good teams, and made a lot of great shots.  Great job Jacob, Carson, Noah, Sam and Riley.
