Volleyball: Our junior boys volleyball team will play in a friendly learn to play clinic on DEC. 18 @Humewood. We wish them good luck!

Ice Hockey: We had a practice for both junior and intermediate teams on Wednesday. All equipment issues have been sorted out and everyone is ready to play! Schedules for both teams are set and posted. Permission forms will go home this week. We will need lots of support from families to make these two teams run smoothly. If you can help with carpools, running the scoreboard, helping on the bench, tying skates or snapping helmets, we would love the extra hands! Please take a close look at our schedules and see where you can help out and then please email Ms. Samuel.

Basketball: Our grade 6 girls played an amazing tournament at AMG last week. We are very proud to say they won all of their games, and quite handily, I might add! Congratulations! They have set the bar very high for our intermediate girls team. They play on DEC. 10 @Bowmore.

Volleyball: Our intermediate boys played in a very tough division 2 tournament. Even though they only had a few practices, they played very well. We are very proud of them for showing courage and determination. We often learn more in defeat than we do in winning. Our junior boys volleyball team is just getting started and will look to our older players for guidance and leadership. The junior boys will play in a friendly tournament before the winter break. Details are TBD.

Ice Hockey: Students in grades 4-8 who are interested in playing ice hockey should pick up any hockey gear they need this week. Our practice is on DEC. 4, 10:00am-11:00am @McCormick Arena. I am hoping to use this time to sort out any equipment issues and evaluate basic skills. We will need lots of parent volunteers to help in the dressing room and on the ice (bring your helmet).

The next sports up for offer are boys basketball and girls volleyball. Keep your eyes and ears open for details on the morning announcements and around the school.

Go Brock Go!

We have approximately 12 runners advancing to the conference final on OCT 17 @Ashbridges Bay. As soon as the official results are available I will share them with students. We will need parent volunteers to help drive to and from the race on OCT. 17. Please email Ms. Samuel if you can help.

Soccer

Our junior boys soccer team had a great game against Givins Shaw on Friday. Although they lost, they played with pride and perseverance. Ms. Morerio is very proud of them all. The next tournament is on OCT. 10 for the grade 7/8 boys. Good luck to them!

We are on the path to achieving our best. Let's keep it up Brock!!

Thank you to all the adults who have offered to help marshal the course. Please see the travel plan for all the volunteer details.

The weather doesn't look good. The meet runs rain or shine and will only be cancelled if the weather is extreme. Please make sure your child is prepared for the day. There is no shelter at Ashbridges Bay!! Rain jackets, rain pants, umbrellas, chairs, tents, and tarps will all help ease the discomfort of the day.

Our young athletes have trained very hard for this day. I can't wait to watch them fly!

cross country update sept. 27

Our race day is coming up quickly! We run at Ashbridges Bay on OCT 3. Please make sure you've returned your permission forms to Ms. Samuel. If you can't find yours, please print one from the "documents and forms" section.

cross country and soccer update sept. 13

Wow! What a great turnout we had this week. It was amazing to see so many students running and having fun! As the weather gets chilly in the mornings, you may want to bring a little pair of gloves, sweater and a maybe even a wooly hat. I think we all know to bring extra socks now! Running on grass can be wet, but it's good practice for cross country season. All adults are welcome to join us. Having lots of people to encourage and supervise our young runners is a big help.

Next Saturday, September 21, I will be offering an optional practice at Ashbridges Bay at 10:00am. We will meet at the Woodbine Bathing Station, which is near the parking lot at Lakeshore and Northern Dancer Blvd. We will run the course and learn some tips and tricks in preparation for race day. Parents are responsible for transportation and supervision of their children for the duration of the practice. Bring your running gear and hit the sand with us!

Our meet day is set for OCT. 3. As in the past, we will need lots of families to help. We will need people to:

• Carpool our grade 1-2 runners- they have the first races of the day and the school bus will not be able to leave early enough to get them there in time for 9:30am. We will need drivers to take take kids to and from Ashbridges Bay. Drivers must complete the form posted under the "documents and forms" tab. This must be done once a school year.
• Course marshals-as we did such a great job last year, we will once again be responsible for one spot on the course for the whole day. We need to help direct runners along the route. We will need adults to take shifts throughout the day. (Being out on the course is a great way to get some fantastic pictures!)
• Supervision-we will need adults to monitor students throughout the day.
• Handing out jerseys on race day-we will need a few adults to help give out jerseys at school before we leave.

Please think about where you can help out. Please email me to let me know where you can chip in. Thanks in advance for your support and cooperation. Managing a large team like this is only possible with the help of many people!

soccer

Ms. Moreiro has once again offered to coach all four soccer teams for us! She will begin practices on Tuesday after school. These teams are for grades 4-8 students. Please make sure you've filled out the green "tryout and participation" form before the first practice.

If it is raining cats and dogs practice is cancelled.

I encourage everyone to go to Ashbridges Bay to practice running the route. If you can get familiar with the route you will be more confident on race day.

update May 10

Track and Field-we are anxiously awaiting our official results from that rainy, cold, awesome day at Varsity Stadium! I'm so very proud of all our athletes. They competed in some very challenging weather and with some very difficult time delays. No one complained! Everyone just used our famous mantra to "quiet your mind and get the job done".

Practices continue for those who've qualified and for anyone who wants a workout:

• Running events- Mon., Tues., Thurs. 7:45am
• Field events: Tues., Thurs., Fri.,11:55am

Ultimate Frisbee:

The junior team has their tournament on Tuesday, May 14 @Givins Shaw. We will play from 8:30-1:00 approx. The date for the intermediate team is still TBD.

updated may 1

Track and Field: Our team is almost set! We make final decisions about who is competing in each event on Monday morning.

Our track meet is on Friday, May 3 @Varsity Stadium. It's an easy TTC ride to St. George station. We will leave the school in two groups.

The first group will leave at 7:40AM with Ms. Samuel:

• Quinn C, June, Ilwaad, Quinn W., Catarina, Sonia, Kelly, Istrat, Leeloo, Aubrey, Konrad, Leslie, Yasser, Ava, Astrid, Johnathan, Rayan (17)

The second group will leave at 8:15 with Ms. Fischer:

• Sophia R.B., Asha, Victoria, Julia, Bessie, Jessica, Emerson, Azaria, Gaby, Aroon, Genelynn, Emily, Gage, Sunny, Mina, Lillian, Emma DH, Ali (18)

We will need lots of parent volunteers to help supervise on the TTC and during the day. If you can help out, please email Ms. Samuel (Virginia.Samuel@tdsb.on.ca) If the weather is inclement, we will try to send some students back to the school after their events are finished. Hanging around a track all day in the cold and rain is not much fun!

The weather looks to be rainy at this point. The meet runs rain or shine! Please help your child prepare for the day. There is very little shelter at the track and conditions can be very difficult. Students should wear shorts, T-shirts, long sleeved shirts, warm sweaters, rain jacket and rain pants. Wooly hats, mitts and umbrellas are also very good ideas. Wear all of your Brock clothing. If you need to borrow a Brock shirt from the school, we will give them out Friday morning before we leave.

Students will need enough drinks, snacks and lunch to last the day. There might be a concession stand open for things like chips, popcorn, candy, but I'm not sure. Students will be allowed to use the concession stands inside the stadium, if they'd like to. Although there are many fast food and coffee shops in the area, we will ask that students not leave the stadium. We don't want anyone to miss their event!

Please see the Documents and Forms section for the permission form, schedule and information letter.

Ultimate Frisbee-junior practices continue on Thursdays and Fridays after school. There will be no practice May 3 due to the track meet.

cross country update- sept 20

Our race day has been set for Oct. 3 @Ashbridges Bay.

We will need lots of parents to help out on race day. We will need volunteers to:

• hand out jerseys in the morning before leaving the school (approx. 7:45-8:15)
• drive our grade 1 and 2 students to the meet (all others will travel on the school buses)
• help marshal part of the course (stand in one spot and direct runners along the correct pathway). We should strive to have 3-4 parents share this job throughout the day so no one will miss their child's race.
• help supervise students at our home base on the beach (bathroom trips etc...)

Grade 4: Triple Jump, 8th place, Leslie 7.34m (personal best!)

Grade 6: 400m, 15th place, Yugesh 1:24.12

Our track and field season is now over. When I took a closer look at our results, I was pleasantly surprised. Although we didn't have a lot of students advancing to the conference final, we did have a lot of top 10 finishes. Out of 73 events we entered, we had 51 top 10 finishes! I am really encouraged by that number! I'm already excited for next season. I would like to have even more entries (more participation) and more top 10 finishes next year. Track and field is a great sport that gives students of all abilities a chance to succeed. So, next year, sign up, join in and come play!

Thanks very much for a fun season.

boys slo-pitch update-may 16

Our boys team hosted an awesome tournament on Friday. We were happy to play against Shirley PS and Perth PS. We won one game and lost one, and that was enough to advance us to the quarter finals! We will host the playoff game in the next few weeks (opposing school and date TBD). Until then, practices continue on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30.

Congratulations to everyone for a great start to the season! Way to go boys!

track team update-may 15

Our team of 42 athletes performed very well last week at Birchmount stadium. The energy level was high as we cheered each other on! The final results are not available yet, but should be out in the next few days. When they are ready, I will be sure to post them here. In the meantime, we do know for sure that at least four athletes have advanced to the Conference Finals on June 7 at Birchmount. Way to go Emerson (first place in the 800 and first place in the long jump), Leslie (first place in triple jump), Jonathan (second place 400m) and Makenna (third place in the 1500)! I will connect with those athletes and organize training sessions that are convenient for us all.

We are really proud of everyone who participated. I think we had a lot of top 10 finishes this year! We will know our exact numbers once the official results are made available.

A special thank you must to go out to all the families who helped drive, supervise and cheer us on! It was great to see so many fans in the stands! Thanks so much for your amazing support.
