1. Just like the provincial election, the race is too close to call for the cast of Footloose.  We will be holding call backs early this week.  Please check the list outside of the Drama Room.  If you are on the list, please come to the call backs with a song prepared.  If you are not on the list, please do not stress – we have not made any decisions at this point. 

   

1. The Sr. Boys X-Country Team travelled to Vancouver over the weekend to compete in the 2024 BCSS Provincial Championship. The boys braved the muddy conditions to post their best results of the season. Curran Davies led the charge finishing 25th overall with a time of 19:13. Not far behind were Zach Stone and Thomas Horan finishing 30th and 34th overall. Josh Allen was the next Hornet to cross the finish line finishing 53rd overall. Rounding out the pack were Jesse Wyatt and Ari Kendrick finishing side by side in 117th and 118th. The Hornets would go on to post a combined score of 94 points which led to a 3rd place bronze medal podium for the AA Sr. Boys combined team score, a historic result for the Hornet’s cross-country program. If you see one of these athletes today, give them a big congratulations on their success over the weekend. Way to go Hornets!
