Good morning SJC swimmers.  If you have not already done so, please pick up a consent form, have it signed and return it to either Mr. Perras or Mrs. Bowen before you begin practices on Monday, October 30th.  The forms, along with a calendar of events, can be found on the door of room 243.  If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Bowen or Mr. Perras.

Shout out to all the student volunteers at the Elimination Draw.  Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to help at the Elimination Draw.  Please come see Ms. Carrieri or Ms. Cupoli this week for your volunteer hours.

Attention Grade 12 students planning to apply to Queens University.  If you would like to be considered as the school nominated applicant for the Queen’s Chancellor’s Scholarship please pick up and complete a preliminary questionnaire in Student Services.  To qualify students must demonstrate superior academic ability, creative and original thinking, involvement in school or community activities and proven leadership qualities.  Questionnaires are due back to Student Services by Friday, November 3rd.

Attention students interested in intermediate band, there are not enough names on the list to run a rehearsal tonight, so there will be NO band practice after school today.  However, the list will stay up for another week for anyone who was still deciding.  Please also see Mrs. Marriott if you need an instrument or have a question.  Another shout out to St. Pius and CBA graduates who can already play an instrument.  This band is the perfect way for you to get involved at St. John’s.  And grade 10’s who miss playing music, being in the band is a great way to keep the skills you developed last year.  Grab a friend from last year, and sign up.
