BC Lions Faith Night 33 dollar tickets (contact info below)
This is simply a suggested opportunity that I came across and the CCS PE department will not be attending in any official capacity.
The event will take place on Friday October 25th vs. Edmonton Eskimos at 7pm. It is an opportunity to come out and watch the BC Lions football game at a discounted rate and more importantly stay after the game and listen to the players speak about Faith, Family and Football in an open discussion.
Ticket prices will once again be $33/each and there is no minimum or maximum number needed to buy tickets. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to give Hermon Tesfaghebriel (sales representative from the BC Lions) a call at either 604-930-5452 or email hermont@bclions.com.

I just wanted to give a shout out for our new sports club that runs on Fridays after school. We will be going for five Fridays before December and then reevaluate the program. the dates are October 11th 12-1pm, October 18 3-4pm, November 1st 3-4pm, Nov 15th 3-4pm, and Nov. 22nd 3-4pm.

It is necessary that a parent of each child attend the practice to help supervise the little ones from the sideline while they learn different skills. An adult responsible for the child must be in attendance. Attend the first session to get your permission slip and to see all the action.

CISVA Cross Country Meet ***10:45 am start!*** Wed Oct 2nd
The school calendar start time was wrong and I just fixed it. The meet begins at 10:45am so CCS drivers will need to depart for the meet at 9am. This way we will not be rushed and we will be well prepared for this big event that includes all the CISVA schools. There is no need to first meet at the school unless you are offering to drive someone. Please inform Mr. K of your driving arrangements. Thank you if you have made yourself available to drive another athlete. I will be telling athletes which race they will be participating in on Monday, September 30th.

Soccer games are now set, players have been placed on teams, permission slips sent home and available on the website
The following was our rational for organizing our soccer teams this year...
Dear Senior and Junior Boys Soccer Parents,
Dear Senior and Junior Boys Soccer Parents,
Welcome to the 2013
CCS Junior soccer season. We are excited
to build on the soccer training that your boys received last year in PE classes
and at team practices. There are over 30
players signed up to play for the junior and senior teams this season with a
wide range of soccer skills and experience.
Our goal is to develop the virtues of fair play and teamwork as well as to
provide playing time and skill development for all players. To achieve these goals we will be grouping
the players in a way that best suits their skill and experience. Players have been assigned to teams that will
set them up for individual success.
Please take careful notice of the games your child will be
attending.

cross country update
Well it rained today and we did our best to keep them dry for the practice. We used the gym when it began to pour. Please do your best to arrive on time at 8:15 so that we can speak to the children together and get them properly warmed up. I want to apologize for the practice information on the school website. It should have read grades 1-7 practices. Grade 1s can continue to practice with us even after the Sept 23rd meet... grade 1s only meet. Only one week until our first meet.

Grade 4-7 Tryout for the Holy Cross Junior Crusader Boys Basketball Team
The tryout for the Holy Cross Junior Crusader Boys
Basketball Team will be held at the Holy Cross gym on
Sunday September 29th from
2:30pm-4:30pm.
We have two teams that both play in the ultra competitive
Metro League that competes at the Langley Events Centre. If you are a boy in grade 4-7 and thinking
about attending Holy
Cross High
School in the future you are eligible to tryout.
There will be one practice a week and one game a week.
All games occur on Sundays and practice times and days will vary.
This program is for any boy that is planning on
attending Holy Cross in the future and wishes to play basketball at a very high
level. The goal is to build relationships that can continue on through their
years at Holy Cross.
The tryout is free for everyone but there will be a
onetime cost for the program upon being selected to the team.

Rain or Shine... Is practice still on?
Jr soccer practices will not be cancelled as we can use the gym in the morning if it rains. Games... prob not too!
Cross-Country practices will be cancelled if it is raining in the morning so look out the window and come if it looks clear. If it rains during practice we'll supervise the kids in a classroom.
Sr soccer will most likely not be cancelled for practice or games so come prepared for the elements.

Jr Soccer and Cross-Country Practice Conflict of times
We are inviting jr soccer players to consider joining cross-country as well this year. While there is a conflict of practice times... the boys will be training much longer distances during their soccer practices so they will be well prepared for the 2 cross-country events on Mon Sept 23 and Wed Oct 2nd.
