February is a month focused on Kindness. Kindness is an act of being friendly, generous, respectful, and considerate of everyone we come in contact with. Everyone can participate in kindness everyday, every moment.

A Tofield Titan is expected to be kind to everyone in the school. We encourage everyone to make being kind a goal each and every day. February 22, 2023 is Pink Shirt Day - on this day students are asked to wear pink to support anti-bullying awareness.

Semester Two is up and running! Report cards were sent home on Friday February 3rd. We are proud of all the effort our students have put into their learning this past semester, and recognize they have had to adjust to a full return to school this year. We know our students will continue to grow in their confidence, stamina and success. As part of the new quarter, we are also focusing on “Responsibility” as part of our Caught Being a Titan recognition.

Communication between school and home is essential to the success of our students. We are reminding parents to first seek to have a conversation with teachers before speaking to the administration.This first step will ensure that you receive an accurate and timely response to your question or concern. If you are needing additional support please then contact administration.

The Senior High Quint School Basketball Tournament was held again this year at: Tofield, Bawlf, Hay Lakes, OLMP and New Norway. There were 36 teams total. 18 Girls and 18 Boys. Next year is the 25th anniversary of this tournament. Our boys and girls played really well. Our boys lost in the Consolation final.

Basketball season is going very well. Our Junior High Boys team has made it to the finals in both Tournaments that they entered. Silver in Hay Lakes and Silver at OLMP. In the Div 2 league they are currently undefeated. Our Senior High Boys Team is undefeated in 2A league play as well winning games against Sedgewick and Wainwright.

Both of our Junior High and Senior High girls basketball teams have lots of players and they are getting better and better with each game they play.

Tofield School honored and recognized the Provincial championship teams from 1972 and 1977. Senior High Boys 1972 Basketball Provincial Champions and Senior High Boys 1977 Curling Champions. Banners were purchased by the original players of both teams and Mr. Flasha ordered the banners. This occasion was featured in a full page ad in the Mercury. You can read this feature by clicking the linked PDF document below.

The banners will be put up in the gym at a later date.

Registration for the TMBA starts February 6th. Check out the poster below to learn more!

All of the Grade 5 classes enjoyed a live stream presentation called "Patrolling Canada's North." The students learned what it is like to be a police officer in Iqaluit and how climate affects their job. It fit perfectly with our studies of Canadian regions! We hope to connect with the On Patrol program again, from another region in Canada!

The Jam Club has been meeting once per week on Tuesdays after school. They are practicing for a special presentation coming this Spring! Stay tuned!!
