All of our volleyball teams from grade 6 to grade 8 had a tremendous season and we are so proud of them all. Our grade eight tier one players were battling against other schools grade 9 players and still came out well in the standings. They are currently battling it out in the grade 8 zones championships. Our tier two girls team had tremendous growth and finished with a silver medal at divisionals! We can't wait to see their volleyball action next year. We are so very proud of all of our team's effort and perseverance that our coaches and players put forward. We are also so very grateful for people that came forward to be coaches, managers of the teams, people that volunteered to do score keeping, lines, referees, work at the Snack Shack and of course our Athletic coordinator for organizing all of it to make it happen. It takes a dedicated team of selfless people to support our players out on the court.

Are you tired of making lunches? Have we got a deal for you. The DAF Snack shack offers hot dog, corn dogs, taquito, and submarine sandwich meal deals (main course plus a juice box and a bag of chips) for $5.00 each day. Lunch orders are taken at first break and prepared before lunch time. We also offer bottled drinks, frozen yogurt, assorted chips, corn nuts and chocolate bars each day. Prices vary between one dollar and three dollars. The prices are set to be as low as possible and the money we make from our snack shack goes into buying the free DAF shirts we offer kids at the beginning of each school year.

We have some amazing moms who have decided to feed your children twice a month so you can relax and your children can eat well. Please watch for the hot lunch emails so you can go to School Cash online and sign up.
