HAPPY 100th DAY OF SCHOOL!! If you are dressed like you are 100, come to the foyer at nutrition break to enter to win an awesome prize and get your photo taken! There will be a grade 6, 7, 8 and staff prize drawn.
Regarding the snow at breaks: First: Ms Schlappner is away this morning, so the winner of the snow sculpture contest will be announced at lunch.
Regarding snowballs, they can ONLY be thrown on the side field in the special, coned-off zone. You cannot enter the zone and throw balls at people, then step outside the zone and say you’re off limits. If you choose to engage, you’re in. However, there should be NO GANGING UP on people and NO THROWING ICE. BE AWARE THAT THE SNOW MAY BE EVEN MORE ICY AND HARD today, so CHOOSE VERY CAREFULLY around if you want to engage or not today. We want people to PLAY SAFE and HAVE FUN. If you do not want to be hit with snowballs, stay FAR AWAY from this zone. If you are seen throwing them in other areas, especially at unsuspecting people, you will be sent to talk to Ms Schlappner and Ms Elford.
Students in the Outdoor Education exploratory are to come to the Art Room today and for the first three weeks of this rotation. Be sure to bring a pencil to class with you.

Attention all current grade 8 students who will be attending Spectrum in September. Did you know that Spectrum has a Junior Varsity football team? This is for all students that will be in grade 9 and 10 for the following school year in September but they start as soon as May for their spring camp. The season runs from August 15 until December. There are two positives about this opportunity: 1) you don’t need any experience 2) it is a great way to feel connected to a brand-new school immediately. Anyone interested please sign up in the office. The football staff will follow up by the end of February. Go Coho!! Go Thunder!!
