Hello everyone! We hope you had a fantastic month back and we welcome you to the monthly Raven Report. It's a new year and a new semester so hopefully everyone is ready for school to only get harder.
Holidays
Starting off, let's talk about the best times of the year: the holidays. Hopefully, everyone went to some amazing places this Christmas and celebrated the Christmas spirit with their families. Even if you didn't travel, hopefully, that pair of socks, and “Number 1 Parent” mug you got this year makes up for it. Coming back from winter break is just as exhausting and anxiety-inducing as ever. We forgot everything that happened this school year and maybe some things we shouldn’t have. Again, as always, it's the New Year right after Christmas. It's a new year but we don't think anybody is still working on their resolution at this point. If you are though, keep going because you are working harder than 99.99% of the population. Looking ahead at the start of February, just remember that you are probably not in a cliche time paradox and that it is just regular old February. Also be prepared for that dreaded, dreaded Valentine’s Day! Hopefully, you don't forget to get somebody their flowers, do you remember what happened last time?
Sports
This month there were quite a few basketball tournaments spanning from the 10th to the 30th. In the 4 basketball tournaments that our teams played in over the past month; the junior teams and the senior boys each lost 1 game. However, we did win a fantastically played match thanks to the valiant efforts of the girls' senior team. The next upcoming game is Rudolph Hennig hosting Ardrossan on the 5th of February, so we’re hoping for an excellent comeback from the Junior teams! On the 24th of January, the senior girls won another fantastic game at Fort Christian, coming in 3rd overall in the tournament. The Senior boys came 5th. If you want to catch some of the basketball action yourself, have a glance at the RHJ school calendar where the dates and times are posted for up-and-coming events and games. On a final note, congratulations to the U 15 Tier 1 Rangers for winning the minor hockey week championship.
Events
Lastly, let’s talk about some of the many other events that are happening. On the 14th, the grade 9s had an assembly about when they are going to get their shots and what to expect as they may get sick afterwards. They also had to get their permission forms signed by a parent or guardian. On the 18th, the Performance Arts students had a Bootcamp at the school! They spent the day working on their play Into the Woods Jr. On the 24th, we had The RHJ Talent Show! Congratulations to Johnny, the winner of the talent show! We hope you enjoyed your prize! Thank you to the Leadership 9 students for organizing. Finally, the second semester began on the 30th and our option classes were switched.
We hope that you have an excellent February and that your kids don’t drive you or any teachers to insanity! The Raven Report will be back next month and we hope to see you then!
