possible.

well. Permission forms and fees should have been taken to the office already.
Senior team (grades 9-12) will be going to Rockyview Divisionals on Tuesday, May 13th. We will be leaving the school at 8:00. Do not be late….it’s a long run to Foothills
Athletic Park. J We should be returning to the school at about 5ish…depending on
traffic.

Thursday after school until between 4:30 and 5:00. Game(s) will be on May 10th
in Calgary at 2031 Sable Dr. SE (just off 17 Ave. SE). I’d advise you to look
up the location on yahoo maps (or some other type of map) well before Saturday
to know where you are going. Our first game is at 9:00. We would like you to be
there by 8:00-8:15. Coach Peden will have some
instructions for you, and we will also need to give you your pinny to wear over your gym strip (wear your entire gym
strip, t-shirt and shorts). Here is the schedule for Saturday:

(if we qualify):
Either at 2:00 or 3:00. If we lose we go home; if we win then we play at 4:00. If we win
that we play in the final at 5:00.
-
All Games will consist of 2 halves (20 minutes/half). Half time will be a 10 minute break
-
Soccer fields will be labelled (we are group A).
Please
bring enough food and drink for yourself to last the
day. Make sure you have a ride ready to pick you up whenever we get eliminated
(depending when our day finishes). That could be anywhere between 2:00 (if we
didn’t qualify for playoffs) all the way to 6:00 (if we are in the final). Mr.
Perry cannot leave until all students are picked up and at the end of the day
he would like to go home to his family. J

IMPORTANT
PARKING ANNOUNCEMENT: The church is
having gravel work done on the parking lot and has requested that we do not
park anywhere in front of the church or south of the garbage bin for the
remainder of this week. We realize
that this is going to cause some parking problems, but would ask that you do
the best that you can in order to prevent a major traffic jam. If you would
kindly pick up your children and then immediately vacate the loop,
that will make it possible for other parents to park and do the same. Please
remember to drive under 15 km/hr anywhere in the loop. Thanks for your
co-operation.
