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.

Girls Floor Hockey - Volunteers Needed

The game schedule is set, the boards are up, and the concession food is ready...now we just need a few volunteers!  A tournament such as this takes the work of many and unfortunately we are short a few of the usual "suspects" who have helped in previous years so we have a few jobs that need filling as soon as possible.

The majority of the "jobs" are covered but we still need some more bodies to help run the score clock (instruction sheet will be readily available to help with button pushing)and help out with the reffing of games.

If anyone is able to help please send a note in to the school with your son or daughter as soon as possible and we will get you slotted into the volunteer schedule.  Thank you!
