All of you did a great job, but there had to be a winner.  Our top 5 were: Mr. Parbhakar B318, Student Council B204, 2nd place Mrs. Couture C331, and, the 1st place winners were tied……Mr. Hendry B213 and Mrs. Dunne C223. Thank you again to everyone who participated. Some of our winners are below. 

Other class members helped organise a Warm Clothing Drive, including toques, gloves and socks, which were donated to the Covenant House.  The 4 0n 4 Basketball Tourney collected donations for the Food Bank.  And in keeping with the Holiday Spirit, candy canes were given out to students who collected Santa Stamps from reindeer found around the school before we left for Winter Break.

This year’s fall Pep Rally was a huge success with all of our fall teams participating: junior girls and boys volleyball, senior girls vball, cross country, theatre production, Burnaby Winter Club hockey, Whitecaps (boys/girls).  We had some very close tug-o-war battles.  A highlight was the junior girls victory over the junior boys.  Congrats to the theatre production and Whitecaps boys who needed a dance off to settle the Top Spirit Award.  Thanks to all the teams and supporters who came out!

The school will be holding our annual pep rally to support our school teams on Thursday Nov. 3.  To get in the school spirit, there will be a Wildcat Week from Tuesday Nov 1^st till the day of the pep rally, which will be held on Thursday at lunch.  Starting on Tuesday,  there will be a mathlete vs. athlete day where students can dress up.  Also, the senior girls are challenging the senior boys to a volleyball match at lunch.  Furthermore, the next day will be Wildcat Wednesday where students and teachers can dress up as a Wildcat.  Lastly on the day of the pep rally on Thursday, staff and students are asked to wear the Central colours to show their Central spirit.  Then at lunch in the large gym our fall teams will be challenging each other to a tug of war competition.  Don’t be afraid to come out and show your wildcat spirit!

Congratulations to Mrs. Hemmingway’s Period 2 Class for winning this year’s Deck the Door Contest with their Gingergread House inspired creation.  The runner ups were Mrs. Dunnes’s and the entire Home Ec Department Period 2 classes.  Thank you to everyone who participated.
