Jr Soccer Team places 3rd

Props (def. proper respect) to the CCS junior boys with their 3rd place shoot out victory on Friday.  It was a hard fought match and the team managed to give a good show for the fans.  You all represented your school well.

CCS Soccer

Our boys soccer season is nearing an end.  Congratulations to the Seniors and Juniors on their teamwork this term.  After many training sessions and a total of 21 matches our record is 19 wins and 2 losses.  The junior team plays for 3rd place on Friday.  Our seniors were knocked out of the playoffs yesterday after an exciting and skillful Quarterfinals match.  Monday will have the two teams face off in a final fun match!  There even may be some coaches who may tie up the old cleats for the game.

Strong Fall V-ball Showing

I was privileged to observe the strong play of the grade 5 girls v ball team this week as they took the court for their first game of the season.  Many serves were accurate and their positive support of each other on the court helped them win all 6 games.  Their hard work training last year and practicing through the summer seems to have paid off. 

Also, I am informed that the grade 6 girls worked hard at their away game this week and were successful at the crucial task of making their serves.  Good luck to the Seven Girls who play Monday and Friday next week.

CCS Cross Country Sucess

It was a hot, sunny day when the CCS Cross-Country Team went to Cresent Park this past Thursday.  We were a group of 81 students (grade 1-7) with a goal of finishing with a smile.  I am happy to say that we met our goal and even had 2 boys place first place in the grade 2 and 1 races.  A grade 4 boy achieved 3rd place and a grade 5 girl came in 4th.  All athletes ran well and demonstrated perseverance right to the end of their races.  We all look forward to the Burnaby CISVA Meet on Wednesday, October 3rd.

Permission Slips and Game Schedules

Game schedules and permission slips will go home Friday for most v-ball and soccer teams.  Check with your athlete so you can begin arranging rides to games!  I suggest getting the phone numbers of the athlete's team members (a team parent could record and distribute this information to other families).  This could be accomplished at any practice or after school one day.  Just ask classroom teachers for a moment and they will most likely find time for you.  

This is also a good time to thank parent drivers for their support of CCS athletics.  Your volunteer driving is very helpful to our participation in the CISVA League and our success.

Cross Country Season Grades 1-7

There are two meets in the cross country season this term.  I am excited about attending the Star of the Sea Meet Sept 20th as last year the meet was cancelled due to rain.  This is the only meet available to the Grade 1s.  Also, we will be attending the big CISVA cross country meet at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby.  Last year it was a good time by all.  See Mr. K or the office for a permission slip.

**ALL PRACTICES BEGIN THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 10th **

Girls Volleyball, Boys Soccer and Cross Country for Grades 1-7 begin next week (Sept 10th).  Please see the Athletics Practice Schedule link on this page.
