- Grads – your Plant and Meat fundraiser has now begun. Links for ordering and payment are on the SOSS website or you can pick up paper order forms from the office. This is a great way to earn money towards your Grad fees - for each item sold, you will earn $5-7 off. Please see the Grad Teams for more information.
- Jr Boys Volleyball – The Jr Boys Volleyball team played in the South Zone Championship last night at princess Margaret. The Hornets squared off against a surging Pen Hi Laker team in their first match. Unfortunately, the boys came out flat and disjointed and did not put together the playoff caliber performance necessary to win. The Hornets were easily swept in straight sets by the Lakers. The boys won their second match vs Princess Margaret which placed them in 3rd place. Pen Hi rallied and took down Summerland in 3 sets as well. Based on the challenge rule in our zone, because of the Summerland loss to Pen Hi, the Jr Boys will have the opportunity to challenge Summerland for the second birth on Tuesday November 12th. Good luck boys!
