PE Weekly Update Badminton season has concluded and we are very proud of the results from our teams and athletes. The Grade 6s finished first, the Grade 7s finished first, the Grade 8s finished second, and the Grade 9s finished second. Congratulations to all the student athletes who competed this season. We would also like to thank all of the coaches (Mr. Stratton, Ms. Angel, Ms. Lonsdale, Mr. Braynen, Ms. Kaminski, and Mr. Ho) for your time and dedication throughout the badminton season. Track & Field season is about to get underway. Students have been engaged in track-based activities in PE class the past two weeks as we prepare for our school wide Track Day that is happening on May 30. This week students will be selecting the events they want to compete in. Students must choose a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 events for the day. The top students in each event (4 girls and 4 boys) and in each grade (Grades 6-9) will be asked to represent our school at the divisional Track & Field meet on June 10. More details to follow about the track meet, including schedule, parent volunteers, cost, expectations, etc. Night of the Raptor is coming up on June 20th. We are really excited about our annual celebration of athletics and we have lots to celebrate from this past year. We are currently finalizing details for this event and will have updates for you as soon as they are available. We are reaching out to our parent community to support us in attaining a variety of door prizes to be given out to those in attendance. If you have something you would like to donate, please get in touch with Tyler from the PE team (tcdixon@cbe.ab.ca) to arrange drop-off. Thank you for your ongoing support of Raptor athletics. As we approach the end of the school year, please ensure all athletic team and/or clothing fees have been paid. All fees have been posted to your MyCBE account. If you have any questions about fees, please contact the main office. Footwear for PE With the nicer weather comes a change in our students' choice of footwear. We are currently facilitating our Track & Field Module and with that, it is imperative that students are wearing athletic footwear for classes to prevent a multitude of possible injuries. As we move into the final stretch of the school year the Phys Ed team is requesting your support in reminding students to be prepared for class with proper footwear. We thank you in advance!
