Month: September 2013

Mr. Poon has started yet another season of the cross country club which began on Monday September 9 and will end on Thursday October 10th.

All students, parents and staff are welcome to participate in this program from Monday to Thursday from 8:25 to 8:45am, except rainy days. This is an excellent opportunity for participants to develop good habits for leading an active lifestyle and increasing their fitness levels. Participants can walk, jog or run around the school block. Staff are stationed at each of the four corners each day to ensure the safety of all runners and offer encouragement. Each participating student will earn ribbons for every ten laps completed.

All students are eligible to represent their school in the cross country team at the district meet on Tuesday October 8th at Ashbridges Bay. It is strongly advised that students train regularly for this meet.

Students can sign up for the team with Mr. Poon or Ms. McVean in late September. Please contact Mr. Poon, if you have questions or would like to assist with the program.

Calling all Grade 5 and 6 students, you’re needed to represent Roden!

There is a boys slo-pitch team and a girls slo-pitch team. All Grade 5 and 6 students are welcome to sign up for the teams. Everyone who sign up is automatically on the team.

The grade 5 & 6 boys slo-pitch team will have their team practices on Mondays & Tuesdays at 3:30 to 4:15 and Wednesdays at 12:05 to 12:45pm.

The tournament date will be on October 3rd at Stan Wadlow Park (Woodbine & Cosburn) from 8am to 3:30pm.

The grade 5 & 6 girls slo-pitch tournament date hasn’t been determined yet. The practice times are Mondays 3:30 – 4:15, Tuesdays & Thursdays 8:15 to 8:55am.
