This year we will be supporting nine families living at Michael House. You should have received information about your child and mother this week in your homeroom. Please continue to bring in gift cards or make cash donations through School Cash Online. Just remember that every little bit helps. If you would like to participate and you don’t have a homeroom, please drop off your cards in Room 103. Also, I just wanted to let you know that the class that brings in the most amount of money per person will win an ice-cream party.

The Senior Girls Volleyball team fought hard last night for a victory against Orangeville in their season-opener. The girls worked together as a team and showcased their incredible talent in all five sets. The girls were triumphant in their first two sets, and came close to winning the both the third and the fourth. By the time the girls played the fifth set, morale was very high thanks to the radiating positivity both on and off the court, leading for the girls to come out strong with a 15-2 victory! Way to go Celtics!  

The junior girls volleyball team pulled out a 3-1 set win for their first game against ODSS. The team did well thanks to the active leadership and energy of team captains Ava Castallarin and Jade Parnell. Player of the game goes to Nikole Mija for her incredible vocals and movement on the court. Their next games will be at a tournament this Friday. Good luck, Jr. Celtics! 

Tomorrow is a jersey add on day for the world cup. If you don't have a jersey, you can wear red or any Canada gear. 

Attention junior girls' basketball players, the team photo scheduled for today has been postponed until a later date.

A MEMBER OF OUR HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS WILL READ: Hey Celtics, our annual Hope for the Holidays Christmas Drive with Michael House has begun. "Since 2003 Michael House has grown from a humble three-bedroom house to a six-bedroom residence offering space to young women and their babies. Their mission is to provide shelter and support to pregnant and parenting women and their children in need." Donations will be accepted up until Thursday December 8th. We will be accepting gift cards or cash donations through School Cash Online. The gift cards purchased will be delivered to Michael House before Christmas, so that the mothers will be able to buy presents for their children. Thank you so much for your support. Let’s make a difference together this holiday season!
