A Reminder for ALL Division Track and Field Participants

Just a quick reminder for all those students who are participating in the Black Gold Division Track and Field Meet on June 4th at Riverview Middle School.  The online permission form is currently available on Powerschool as is the $3.00 registration fee...these two items must be submitted prior to the day of the track meet.  A big thank you to all those runners who have everything submitted and in.

Reminder that Thursday is a full day track meet beginning at 9:45AM and running through until 2:30PM.  Students will be walking over to Riverview at 8:45AM and will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of track relay races – 50m, 100m, and the Mixed relay.  As well some students will have been selected to compete in the running long jump and ball throw field events.

On the day of the meet Robina Baker pinnie tops will be provided.  Students need bring along their lunch, any needed snacks, as well as a drink – water fountains are available for refilling water bottles. 

Students are also encouraged to dress appropriately for the day’s events! 

Please wear the following:

• ·         Proper running shoes (ie. no sandals, flip flops, crocs, or dress shoes)
• ·         Shorts (hot weather)
• ·         Long pants and shirt over top to cover up for cold weather or sunburn 
• ·         Sunscreen and a hat are also recommended as they will be outside the entire day 

Remember the weather in Alberta can change quickly so better to be over prepared than under prepared.

Parents are asked to PLEASE have their child’s permission form and entry fee submitted no later than Wednesday, June 3rd.

Last Day for Track Sign Up

Quick update on Robina Baker's Black Gold Division Track and Field team.

At present we have in excess of 85 students from kindergarten through grade four coming out to the weekly practices.  If any students are still wanting to sign up and be placed on a team, the last official day to join up is Wednesday, May 6th.

A Heads Up...

A quick heads up that athlete sign up for the Black Gold Division Track and Field meet will be held on Monday, April 27th for all students in grades one through four during the noon hour recess. 

Practices will be held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the noon hour recess - students who sign up for the team are expected to consistently attend the track practices.  Dates of all practices will posted on the Robina Baker school calendar. Everyone coming out will "make the team" so long as they are attending practices regularly - as this allows us to effectively set the teams.

The meet will once again be held at Riverview Middle School in June...and all parents are of course welcome to come out and cheer on the Robina Baker team!

Attention Student Athletes!

Just a quick heads up to parents that all student athletes who participated in girls floor hockey (both teams), boys floor hockey (Viking Cup team and Golden Running Shoe Series teams) and all Klondike Relay athletes will all be receiving recognition and certificates at this Friday's (April 17, 2015) weekly assembly!  Grab your cameras and come and share in the excitement!

Viking Cup Champions!

Congratulations to the boys grade 3-4 floor hockey team on their gold medal Viking Cup victory. They worked as a team and hustled like no one's business going undefeated in four straight games and allowing a tournament low two goals against!!  Defence wins championships apparently!!

Rabbit Hill Adventures - Part Deux!

As part of the school's PE program the students get to experience the thrill of downhill skiing and snowboarding.  St. Patrick's Day marked our school's second ski trip this month - and a giant pat on the back for a great day of skiing/snowboarding at Rabbit Hill Snow Resort goes out to both Mrs. Fleming's and Mrs. Spreen's grade four classes!

Both classes had an amazing day and the marked improvement in the students' abilities was fantastic with all sections of the hill being filled with energetic RBES students showing off their talents.  Super work everyone on testing your skills and remembering to stay in control and within your abilities!

Rabbit Hill Adventures - Part One!

So round one of the school's Rabbit Hill ski and snowboard education sessions is in the books (finally) and judging from the huge smiles and tired legs it was a great experience for all of our grade four students! From mastering the art of falling (way to hang in there TJ) to conquering the fear of heights and taking the chair lift (Good job Kathryn) it was a memorable day of firsts...cannot wait for the adventures of our next ski and snowboard trip!

Our next trip to Rabbit Hill is scheduled for Tuesday, March 17th so grade four parents be sure to submit your permission forms and payment well in advance if you haven't already done so yet via Powerschool.
