DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS: special meetings, sports announcements, school events, regularly scheduled openings and rehearsals:


A huge congratulations to the Sr. Boys Soccer team as they are the new Colonist Shield Champions.  The team worked very hard to come back from a 1 goal deficit to defeat Stellys 4-2.  Ben scored our first goal, while Abbraao scored on a PK to make it 2 to 1 early in the second half. Leo scored to make it 3 to 1, and Jason netted Parkland's 4th. Great game team and what an amazing season! Thanks to those who came out to watch, the team appreciated it.
