Marymount Junior Regals, Nickel Classic Volleyball Champions
Congratulations to the Marymount Junior and Senior Regals for their excellent showing in this past weekend’s Nickel Classic Volleyball Tournament. The Senior Regals finished first in their respective pool and were only one of two Sudbury teams to make it to the quarter finals but ended up losing a close match to Sir James Dunn of the Sault marking the end of their tournament run.
The Junior Regals also competed in the Nickel Classic but faired much better than the seniors by finishing first in their pool in round robin play, defeating Sir James Dunn in the quarter finals, and Chippewa from North Bay in semifinal play. In the exciting final match, the Regals shocked the Franco Cite team by defeating them two games straight to claim the Nickel Classic Volleyball championship. The victory marks the second consecutive year that the Marymount Junior Regals have one the largest junior tournament in the province.
Canadian Olympian Enjoys Pen Pal Friendship with St. Anne Students
Olympic athlete Kristina Groves has given the Grade One and Two class at St. Anne School a reason to cheer a little louder for Canada in the 2006 Winter Olympics. Kristina Groves is a Speed Skater with whom the children have been Pen Pals since the fall.
“Along with speed skating, she has been teaching us about the importance of always trying your best, eating properly and taking care of your body. It is so nice of her to take time away from such a busy schedule and make them feel a bit more special”.
To make sure that Kristina was not lonely on Valentine’s Day, the children made her cards and pictures. They also sent her a good luck bracelet and a banner that they made to cheer her on. The students were thrilled to hear that she had qualified for the 1000m, 1500m, 3000m, 5000m and the Team Pursuit.
They created posters to be posted around the school and flags to cheer with while watching her at school. During the Olympics the students will be giving a morning news report to update everyone on Canada’s medal standings.
