Basketball Game Schedules for 2014

The 2013 Wrestling Season

                As the exciting 2013 wrestling season comes to a close, we’d like to review some of the highlights of our season.  MidSun hosted the first quad meet here in November and the team travelled to the next quad meet at Mountain Park.  MidSun wrestlers did well at both events.  Our third quad met of the season was cancelled due to the tremendous cold and snow impacting travel that week.  The quad was to be hosted by Willow Park School, which after suffering a fire now resides within the walls of The Chinook Learning Centre across the city.

                There were two awesome tournaments we participated in and the first was at the Calgary Science School.  We had several wrestlers bring home medals from that tournament including Zack M,  Laiba H, Jack R and Max K,  who won Bronze; Miah G, Thai S, Joey B,  Jane M, Justine L and Andrew M  who all won silver; and Jared M, Cole P,  Landon R, and Ian W who all won gold.

                 Next we attended the University of Calgary Junior Olympics.  Right across the gym there was world champion women’s wrestling, and some of our athletes even met Olympic Gold medalist Carol Huynh.  This competition was important was it acted as the trials for the Alberta Winter Games to determine participation on Team Calgary this year.  Winners get to train with the U of C Junior Dinos and attend the games hosted this year in Banff.  We had several medalists winning in the novice division including:  Miah G, Jodene V, and Ian W who won Gold, and Owen D who won Bronze.  In the Senior or open division Andrew M won a gold medal at this tournament and Jack R won a bronze medal scoring a possibility of being involved in the Alberta Winter Games.

                Finally, we had a great time at our Divisional Wrestling meet at the Southland Leisure Centre.  The competition was fierce and although many of our athletes won in their weight classes and will receive ribbons for their victories, there weren’t enough team members to oust the other teams and allow us to bring home a pennant this year.  To that, our team knows there is always next year, and this year of learning with a heavily rookie team will turn to our favour in the 2014 season!  It’s been a great year wrestlers.  As coaches we are very proud of you, your skill development and your outstanding sportsmanship.  We look forward to seeing you back with us next year!

MidSun School Council AGENDA for Jan 15th

Happy New Year to all MidSun Families,

We hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday.  It has been a great week getting caught up with what everyone did over the holiday.  January is a busy month as students and staff gear up to finish up our first semester and prepare final assessments for our report card coming home on February 12, 2014.  Our Midterms for Social Studies and Language Arts will take place on Monday January 27 and Tuesday January 28, 2014.  Parents and students can access our study tips on our website under students/for students.  Our annual Options showcase evening will take place on January 23 at 6:30.  This is always a great event and we encourage everyone to come out and see student performances, films, demonstrations and displays.

Our report card format is changing next year to improve our communication of what students are able to do and what they need to work on in relation to the programs of study. This is a move that has been supported by Alberta Learning. Over 100 CBE schools are already using the new report card this year. Our teachers have already begun to work on new assessment methods and are communicating them to students.  This is the last year we will be reporting with percentages. More information on the new report card will be shared at our School Council meeting on January 15 at 7PM.  MLA Jeff Wilson will also be there for a Q &A. Hope to see you there!
