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. 

Wednesday, Oct. 2^nd              (We will leave the school at 9:00am)                      Time: 10:45-2pm

The CISVA Cross-Country meet (Gr. 2-7) is at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. This is a rain or shine event so dress your child appropriately. This meet has a competitive and non-competitive portion. All students will participate in 1 run.  The 4 students with the fastest times from each age group will compete in the competitive run (with the option of the Fun Run, if they have enough energy to do so).  All other runners will take part in the fun run. Cross Country Coaches will decide the 4 runners that will participate in the competitive race.  The distances run will be the same regardless which race your child is in.  The meet will begin at 10:45am and the races will continue in this order:

Gr.2 Girls beginning at 10:45am and continuing boys and girls every 15 minutes. 

Intermediate and Primary “Fun Runs” will occur after the Grade 3s.

Grades 2 & 3     1.2 km                Grades 4 & 5     1.8 km                  Grades 6 & 7     2.4 km

After each meet you may head home after your child has run but only after signing out with the teachers.

Star of the Sea Cross-Country Good Times!

What a time we all had today at the Star of the Sea Cross-Country meet today.  Everyone ran their very best and I was very excited for the grade 1s who have worked so hard and ran in their first meet ever.  Fabulous smiles from everyone!

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,

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 29^th 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.
