A.Y. JACKSON S.S. WEEKLY REVIEW Friday, Oct. 31st, 2014 Happy Halloween On Monday, November 3rd, a District Review team (composed of administrators and Board officials) will visit A.Y. to observe the school in action and to talk to students, staff, and parents. We are excited about the opportunity to receive feedback about what is going well and how we can better serve our students and community. Student’s Council ran a very successful dance (last Friday) and Halloween Spirit Week. There was lots of participation amongst the student body and staff and everyone had a great time. On Wednesday, Oct. 29th, grade nine students enjoyed an early Halloween treat. They received a “ spooktacular” J-Crew Social Follow-up that included playing hot potato with a costume twist, some creative pumpkin painting, guessing the ghastly contents of some mystery bags, and surviving a visit to a very creepy haunted house. All grade nine students should be applauded for their positive, and active participation and JCrew leaders should be commended for organizing and facilitating this special event. Special thanks goes out to two local businesses: Tom Lamb, from the Farm Boy on Hazeldean Road supplied the pumpkins so that J-Crew members could complete their masterpieces, and Graham Vesey from the Shoppers Drug Mart on Eagleson Road who donated Halloween props and decorations. The Girls Varsity Field Hockey team finished their season with loss to Colonel By in the semi-finals. They scored a 1-0 victory over Franco Cite in the quarter-finals. The Boys Varsity Hockey team evened their record at 3-3 with a victory over Woodroffe. The Girls Varsity Hockey team continues to roll along with victories over Franco Ouest and Mother Theresa. The Junior Girls Basketball team lost a close game to SRB and to John McCrae. The Varsity Boys Volleyball team lost a close decision to SRB.
