ATHLETICS

Junior Boys Basketball Practice today after school from 3:10-4:45

The Senior Girls Volleyball Team will be playing Vic High for the AAA Tier (Lower Island) Championship. The girls qualified for Islands last week in the win against EMCS so they are playing a game Tuesday night at 7pm on home turf! It would be great to have a good crowd come out to cheer them on as they play for the gold!

Stelly's cross country athlete Egan Franey placed 15th in the AAA senior boys division at the provincial championships this weekend. Despite incredibly muddy conditions Egan achieved his goal placement and finished the gruelling 5k race in only 17 minutes and 12 seconds. Way to go Egan!

Good luck to the Senior Boys Soccer team who are playing the Island Championships today and tomorrow at SMU! Go Stingers!

GRAD 2025

Hey Grads, for many years we have had a tradition of having baby pictures in the yearbook from our grads. We are hoping that in the next month all grads can look through their old photos and dig up some great baby pictures that could be included in our yearbook. This form also includes spots to put other middle school and friend pictures that could potentially be put in the grad slideshow at the end of the year. This is your responsibility and photos submitted after the deadline may not be considered for the yearbook. The form closes NOVEMBER 30TH so do it ASAP! https://forms.gle/c6UJckY5onQJPvrB6

Grads, your online clothing store is now open! The link to the store is here. Ordering is open until November 12th and items will arrive before Christmas break - get your order in so you don’t miss out!

Stelly's Grad 2025! Do you want to reduce the cost of your Grad Dinner Dance ticket? There is a winter plant sale fundraiser! You get $5 per item sold towards your dinner dance ticket cost. Send your family and friends and neighbours and local businesses to the link found in the Google Classroom and have them enter your name in the "Special Notes" field. Alternatively, grab a paper order form from the office to make your sales. Paper orders are due on Wednesday, November 13th to Ms Tamboline. Online orders are due by midnight on November 13th. Plants will be available for pickup on November 28th after school.
