ENVIROMENTAL CLUB INTRO

Hey wolves! On behalf of Environment Club, and in the spirit of Canadian Waste Reduction Week, we are launching these finished cafeteria bins made by Mr. Davis’ students and decorated by Ms. Gordon’s students! We’ve added cork boards on the back so you can see what goes in the blue side and what goes in the black side. More bins are hopefully coming for the centre of the caf, but in the meantime, if you care, please walk to the ends and recycle properly! And don’t forget about recycling properly using the hallway bins. Blue means clean and empty containers, black is for all other waste. Classroom bins are for paper only ideally. Let’s do this CCI!

Just a reminder, Grad Photos will be taken in Room 152 November 25th-29th. The second week Dec. 2, 3 & 4th Bob Johnson will be doing Grad photos in the Library. Students may come to the office and see Jody to make an appointment for their photo.

The Wolves Senior Girls Basketball team played in the COSSA semi-final yesterday at St. Theresa’s in Belleville.  We took an early lead and played an outstanding first half against a very tough team on their court, trailing by only 4 at the mid-point of the game.  Unfortunately, the other team got hot in the third quarter and the Titans eventually came away with the win.  Coaches Cavanaugh and Hayden are very proud of you as a team for your efforts in this game and all season long.  We finished a 20-game season with 12 wins, 8 losses overall and a COSSA berth.  Congratulations Wolves!

Congratulations to our Senior Boys’ Volleyball Team for earning a silver medal at the COSSA Championships this week. The boys played solid team ball against ENSS in the semi-final with every player contributing to the victory. Facing IE Weldon in the COSSA final, CCI roared to a win in the first game of their best of five match.

Weldon answered back, winning games two and three. Our guys came out strong in the fourth game, leading 15-10, but could not hold onto the lead to force a tie-breaker. The team came a long way this season, improving in every aspect of the game. Coach Martin is proud of your achievement; he hangs up his clip-board after thirty seasons of coaching and could not have asked for a better bunch of guys to end his coaching years.

The junior girls basketball team finished their season yesterday at the Cossa tournament played in Belleville. After a strong season against local teams the girls had to face the top team out of Belleville, Centennial high school. Centennial was the top team overall and would prove this by going on to win the COSSA championship.

Your CCI girls put up a valiant effort and only trailed by 2 part way through the third quarter. In the end Centennial proved to be too strong and the girls lost 43-24. Mr. Urbach and Mr. White are extremely proud of all your efforts throughout the season. Way to go Wolves!
