St. Mary's Catholic School

The Jr Boys and Girls Basketball teams kicked off their season with the annual EIAA League tournament. Both teams are rebuilding with the majority of players being young Grade 7 and 8's and found it tough to compete with some of the more experienced teams that they saw that weekend. Both teams played well and continued to build on the firm foundational skills being taught by their coaches. A huge thank you to Mrs. Kozitzky for filling in for Mr. Kobelsky on the weekend. Great job SAINTS!

The SAINTS will be hosting their Home Tournament on January 27-28th. Parent volunteers are meeting Thursday evening at STMY for food prep to set up the canteen.

We are looking for STUDENT volunteers for concession and scorekeeping as well so sign up next week to get Athletics Club checkmarks!

Please contact Coach Jacquie Stuart for further information. Below find the draw.

On Bell Let’s Talk Day, Bell will donate more towards mental health initiatives in Canada by contributing 5¢ for every applicable text, call, tweet or TikTok video using #BellLetsTalk, social media video view and use of our Facebook frame or Snapchat lens.
