As November arrives, Canadians across the country take a moment to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by the many brave men and women who have fought for peace in our nation. On Friday, November 10th at 10:30, the Tofield community will come together to pay tribute to these heroes. This event is open to all, and we encourage everyone to attend.

During this solemn occasion, we will remember the special people who have given up time with their families, sustained physical or mental injuries, and even made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. It is because of the selflessness and bravery of these individuals that we have the many freedoms we enjoy as Canadians. We are free to attend public education, free to travel anywhere, free to live where we want, and free to pursue our dreams.

Let us take this opportunity to express our gratitude and show our support for the courageous members of our military who have dedicated their lives to preserving peace and security in Canada.

Congratulations to the many students who received awards on October 26, 2023, for academics, athletics and citizenship. We are proud of all our student accomplishments. We are very thankful at Tofield School for the many businesses who provide monetary donations for trophies, medals and scholarships. Without your support, we would not be able to celebrate our students.

Congratulations to our volleyball teams. They have a very successful season with winning tournaments, the league and divisions, with upcoming regionals (November 7) and Zones ( November 18). GO TITANS!

Report cards go home on Friday, November 10, 2023. Our complimentary course quarter two change happens on Thursday, November 9, 2023. An opportunity for students to participate in new complimentary courses.

Enjoy the November break from November 13 to 17, 2023 as a time to recharge for students and staff. We look forward to students returning on November 20, 2023.

Congratulations to our Jr. Girls Volleyball team on a season of undefeated league play! Because of this, they hosted the Junior High Girls Divisional Volleyball on November 3.

The Senior Girls Volleyball team started their season before school even started this year, in order to prepare for their first tournament at the end of the first week of school and continued to practice twice a week since then. There has been tremendous growth from all players this season. The girls also debuted their new jerseys this season.

This year we had 17 players on the roster:

Grade 10 - Adri Freeman, Brooklyn Ochitwa, Cassidy Penner, Eveline Rickett, Isabella Anderson, Presley Perry

Grade 11 - Amy Fraser, Claire Rickett, Elizabeth Purves, Mercedes Fisher

Grade 12 - Anri Kawabe, Avery Stevenson, Bailee Kowalchuk, Cleo Tritschler, Gabby Woodruff, Kayden Strilchuk, Kendra Yuha

Coach - Adam Madsen (Principal of CW Sears School)

Assistant Coach - Mackenzie Fisher (Tofield Titans volleyball alumni)

The Sr. Girls attended 5 tournaments this season in Vermillion, Lamont, Wainwright, Irma and New Norway/Hay Lakes. League games were against Wainwright High School, Blessed Sacrement Catholic School (Wainwright), Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School (Camrose), and Central High Sedgewick Public School. Unfortunately, we did not make it to Zones this season as only the top 4 teams in the league advance.

Our year wrapped up with a Titans vs Parents game and player awards night. We would like to congratulate our winners:

All Stars: Kayden & Avery

Team Spirit: Gabby

Hardest Working: Kendra

Most Improved: Cleo

Rookie of the Year: Isabella

We say goodbye to our five graduates this year: Avery, Bailee, Gabby, Kayden & Kendra, and wish them all the best as they move on to their next adventure.

We also send best wishes to our two exchange students that chose to learn volleyball with us. Cleo & Anri, we hope you enjoyed your time with us and volleyball too! Best wishes to you as well.

Athletic Awards

Thanks to the generosity of three local businesses, Canadian CORE Tofield, FXD Tofield, and FA5, Tofield School will now offer new courses in mechanics and 3D printing technology.

Tofield School has always provided complementary Career and Technolgy Studies (CTS - grades 10 to 12) and Career and Technology Foundations (CTF - grades 5 to 9) trade courses in woodworking, fabrication and welding. The 21st-century societal demands have created a void with workforce skills, but the Trades and Technology section of the CTS program at Tofield School now offers additional courses along with the above-mentioned course in CNC manufacturing, electronics and robotics.

Our hope is to prepare students with the problem-solving, logistic strategies and work commitment necessary for our changing world.

Again we would like to thank you for your donation!

Lots of the staff showed up in group costumes!

The grade 6s did a costume contest for Halloween. The winners were:
