Swoosh!

Well, I know Mr. Rollins and Mr. Out are trying to organize a staff versus Grade 7 volleyball game to wrap up the volleyball season for this year.......and you know what that means, right?

It'll be time for basketball to be starting up! Did you all know that Vancouver used to have an NBA team?  Their first season was when I was finishing up university at UBC, and I was working as a desk clerk at a hotel part time on the weekends.

When the Grizzlies first arrived in Vancouver, they all stayed in this hotel in Richmond while they were training in their facility over near Watermania/SilverCity, so we got to meet them all on a regular basis.  They even gave us tickets to some of their games.  They were never very successful, and eventually relocated to Memphis, but it was pretty cool to be able to go to see some NBA superstars on opposing teams.  One of my favourite games was going to see Michael Jordan when Vancouver played the Chicago Bulls....here's a little highlight reel of Michael Jordan, aka Air Jordan, to get you inspired to play basketball this year.  Are you going to join the team?  Even if you've never played before, this is a great opportunity to learn and have fun!  Who's your favourite athlete?

Enjoy!

Louie, Louie

Happy Saturday everyone!

Some of you may have heard that, over the summer, I got a new pug puppy.  So I thought I'd formally introduce him to you.  His name is Louie (well, it's actually Louie George---we couldn't decide between the two names).  He'll be 6 months old on November 18.  When we first picked him up on August 3, he was a little furball that fit in one of my hands.  The first photos are of him at about 2 and a half months, and the third one is of him at about 4 months.  He's grown a lot even since then.

So, without further adieu, I introduce you to Louie, (the naughtiest and most loveable pug in the world)......

Wilson Pondering about Volleyball & Radiohead's "Just" Video

Like a wise man once said “All good things must come to an end.” Yes, that’s right; volleyball season has ended, though there is still our Grade 7s vs. Teachers volleyball game left to look forward to. What do you think the man lying on the floor said that caused everyone else to lie down too in the “Just” music video by Radiohead?

Bahd's Blog

Hi Division 1!  I'm so excited--Mr. Rollins has given me the opportunity to be the guest blogger for the upcoming week.  We're in your classroom right now and he's just giving me some tips and pointers. I can't wait to take time to create some longer posts and include some pictures and videos of events from school.  I'm ready to publish....wish me luck!

Have a great weekend!
