Jacket Racket | Message from Student Council 

Tom Baines has been a proud supporter of the Jacket Racket program for MANY years. We collect clean, gently used winter coats, snow pants, toques, mittens, and snow boots. The collected items are then donated to the Jacket Racket team and they, in turn, ensure that the clothing is given to kids, in Calgary, that need them. 

Please look through your closets and see if you have any extra winter items that you no longer need that you are willing to part with. Your contribution will be put to good use. 

Donations are being collected until Oct. 22. 

Items are to be brought to centre court. Place the items in the black garbage bags on tables. 

Thank you in advance for your support. 

Emergency Preparedness 

Last week, our school completed an evacuation drill that included walking to our off-site evacuation location at Foothills Alliance Church. This is the location we would use if an emergency required us to leave school property. Our students did an excellent job remaining safe, silent, and serious throughout the drill. Thank you to our students and staff for taking this important safety practice seriously. 

Athletics 

Our soccer teams carried on this week with our girls playing two hard games playing tough teams with two losses but in both games the girls played hard and came together as a team.  Our boys team played on Monday and kept up with their opponent working hard but also coming up short.  The teams will finish their regular season next week followed by playoffs the following week. Good luck to the teams. 

All basketball teams have now been made.  Congratulations to all of the athletes that made the teams.  Our seniors will be playing in a feeder tournament on October 2 at Sir Winston Churchill School so good luck to them at their tournament.  Our junior girls will play their first games of the season on Monday, and the rest of the teams will continue to practice getting ready for their regular seasons to start.  Good luck and Go Boas Go!
