MS Boxing Fitness Off-Site
2024-03-06 08:15 - 11:15, 2024-03-27 08:15 - 11:15
Dear Middle School Families,

We have made arrangements for two off-site classes for our students on Wednesday, March 6th and also on Wednesday, March 27th. Each class will run from 9:00-10:00.
In an ongoing attempt to encourage our students to look at all options and opportunities of Physical Expression and for personal fitness, we will attend two boxing inspired fitness classes at Oakville Boxing Fitness and Functional Training (OBFT). https://www.obft.ca/
We are very excited to have gained access to OBFT as they are one of the few facilities in Oakville that conduct youth non-contact classes and have a lot of experience with the age group of our students. These classes are conducted by certified trainers of OBFT and are focused on fitness rather than actual boxing skills. Boxing fitness, like any Martial Arts inspired fitness, is a great and fun way to gain strength, endurance and speed. Boxing training is also known to have other positive outcomes like an increase in feeling confident and empowered.
All students will be supplied with a set of hand wraps that will be theirs to keep!
What to Wear and Bring:

Students should wear preferably light gym wear (shorts, t-shirt) and bring their indoor gym shoes (no Crocs allowed) for the actual class. If they require an additional layer, they can wear their Clanmore Tracksuit on top for the trip back to school (which will be via public transit).
Also, please bring filled water bottles!
Because we are taking the bus back to school, students will require their Presto Card as well.
Besides their backpack with agenda and any returning school items (such as homework), students MUST bring a change of clothes as well, which they can change into when they return to school.

Wednesday Morning Drop Off at OBFT (8:15-8:50): We ask parents to drop off students directly at OBFT no later than 8:50, but Kristina will be on site and available to receive students beginning at 8:15.

Return to School: We will be catching Bus 20 at 10:30, transferring at Oakville Go, then catching the 11 bus to return to school around 11:15.
Additional Notes: Students will change when they return to school, so they must bring a change of clothes and their regular backpack. Boxing is a very sweaty activity, so a change of clothes is a must!
Please be sure to email the school with any absences on this day, as usual.
Sincerely, The Middle School Team

Basketball co-curricular begins
2024-03-06 15:45 - 17:15
BasketBall (Wednesday's Jan 17th – March 6th )

children will meet Andi Mak in the Lower Library at 3:45 PM for a snack and then go up to the Gym at 4:00 PM.

Elem./MS Fundraiser & Dress Down for Rhinos
2024-03-07
We are fundraising for the rhinos. Recently I came across a book about endangered species and rhinos were on the list as critically endangered. Rhinos are prized for their horns and some species of rhino are nearly extinct. One rhino is illegally poached every 16 hours. We decided to do a fundraiser to help them. The fundraiser takes place on Thursday, March 7th.

There will be a raffle for $2 with a limit of 3 raffle tickets per person. There will be four prizes available. We will have the option to dress down for $1. Finally, we will be offering Popcorn. A small bag of Popcorn will be 2$.

Please feel free to donate extra money to help the rhinos! Thank you for your participation.
