Mr.
Catt, Mr. McEwan and the leadership class would like to thank
all the staff members that came out to assist with the RELAY.
This event could not be run without your help. We especially
appreciated the helpers who arrived at 4:00 am, when the organizers
were not really able to function with any coherence.
This
year the final totals are 31 survivors and
382 participants of which 112 were
John McCrae students. The final total money raised
this year was $60,101.05.
The
students were awesome!

Capital
Region Music Festival Update
Thank
you to the parents, volunteers, Osgoode Township H.S. and
Castor Valley E.S. staff and students for their support leading
up to and during the Concert and Jazz Band portions of the
Capital Region Music Festival.
Recently,
at Earl of March H.S., the concert band was faced with a tough
adjustment by preforming on such a large stage in front of
a tough panel of judges.
The
Concert Band received two bronze and one silver rating which
equalled an overall bronze. The adjudicator was particularly
impressed with the instrumentation and ability of the musicians,
given that the band was comprised of students from Grades
Nine to Twelve.
A
special thanks to percussionists Kim Carr, Michelle Halloran
and Brad Lapensee for substituting into the Castor Valley
concert band at the last minute.
The
Jazz Band also received a bronze medal for its competitive
performances.
Congratulations
to all!
