This Week @ Journey February 9-March 4

Thank you to our staff and PAC members for making our Spring Fling Dance so successful. Even the weather cooperated!

Merci to all who participated in Pink Day this year. Everyday should be a bully free day and this makes us think about it even more! Take a look at the great pictures Mr. Bedard has up on our screen in the foyer. Cassidy C. was Pink Student of the Day for going above and beyond to make the day a success.

Musical Theatre auditions start this week. Any students in Grade 6, 7, and 8 can audition. If students missed the information meetings last week, see Mrs. Fader. This year’s theme for the show is the 1980’s. Good Luck!

Journey Rugby Club is up and running. Hey – “We run to be here” AND get physical on the rugby pitch. Great turn out Thursday at Noon on the main field. 25 students, both boys and girls, from all grades participated in drills and touch (non-contact) rugby. Rugby Club meets to play each Thursday from 12:15 to 12:50 and the focus is on fun, learning the art of rugby and getting some great exercise as the weather improves. All are welcome. See Mr. Bryan for more information.

Journey Inter Mural Floor Hockey Tournament – Super turn out on Friday at lunch for the inaugural information meeting about the upcoming floor hockey tournament. 30 students – both boys and girls attended. Five teams are already in place with another 3 or 4 teams building plus the dreaded staff team. We’re off to the races. Please return your team sign-up sheets to either Ms. Johnston or Mr. Bryan as soon as possible. First games of the tournament begin as soon as we’re all back from Spring Break.
