Congratulations to the Track & Field Team for an excellent showing at the Provincial Track & Field Championships in Cape Breton.

Well Done!!!  The Provincial results are posted outside of the gym.  All team athletes can pick up their deposit when they return their singlets and spikes.  There will be a banner signing on Tuesday at lunch for the Senior Boys and Senior Girls teams from Districts and Regionals.
