WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE!!!

Sports:

-All grade 8 boys interested in playing for Colquitz grade 8 basketball team have a meeting after school today with coach Jesse and Mr Howse.  

-meeting in the gym at lunch Thursday for anyone interested in grade 6, 7 or 8 who would like to give x-country a try!  We will begin our practices next week.

This is a friendly reminder that Trivia Tuesday will return next week! For those who are new to the school, please listen carefully to these instructions:  

    • Each Tuesday morning Ms. Mackenzie (that’s me) will read a trivia question on a specific topic. One question for students and another question for teachers. This means you need to be listening to the announcements!
    • Answers can be written on trivia ballots that will be put in staff mailboxes later this week. No googling answers!
  • Include your name and division number and to write NEATLY! 
  • Students will write their answers on the WHITE ballot.
  • Staff will write their answers on the COLOURED slip of paper. 
  • All ballots must be submitted by 3pm on Tuesday.
  • Winners will be 3 students and 1 staff each week who will be recognized in the announcements on Friday and will have a box of Smarties and a bookmark delivered to them after the announcements.

Good Luck!
