Volleyball begins
By Matthew Hill
The Grade 5/6 class has been
busy getting ready for the
Christmas concert.
We made a silhouette of a
Christmas symbol and put some
tissue in the background for when
the light shines through it. It will
make it look neat.
We have been reading across
Canada and we started at
Newfoundland and now we are in
Barrie, Ont. We would like to get
across Canada by Christmas.
VOLLEYBALL
Grades 6 to 8 have begun
intramural volleyball with Mrs.
Laurie. There are four teams - the
Hurricanes, the Cyclones, the
Thunder and the A-Bees. The
captains are Trevor Brooks, Nathan
Hubbard, Jamie Black and Adam
Blair.
The teams play every recess.
By Steven Empey
We have been working on our
Christmas concert. We are doing
the letters of Christmas and singing
a song. We had choir practice too.
Our volleyball skills are coming.
Students in Grade 8 have been
working hard to complete the art
for the concert backdrop. Delegates
