The J.C. Hill Girls Basketball team were two baskets away from reaching the semi-finals.

The Girls basketball team came very close to reaching the semi-finals on Monday. J.C Hill defeated Centennial 24-12, Banbury defeated J.C. Hill 14-12 and Cedarland defeated J.C. Hill 30-16. J.C. Hill played hard and they left everything on the floor. They demonstrated great sportsmanship on and off the court and just as important was their attitude in the games, they never gave up. It was that kind of attitude that made this team a joy to coach. The team did everything we asked of them, which included 7:30 a.m. practices twice a week. We are very proud of each and every one of you. Great job everyone!

Attention all Girls Basketball Players

There is NO intermediate girls basketball practice tomorrow morning.

Where are the parents?

Last night's Home and School meeting was poorly attended. If there is another way parents would like to provide input and support for the students, please e-mail us or leave a comment on any of the teacher blogs that provide a comment space.

Decisions are being made by a few that affect ALL students and MANY programs are being dropped for lack of support and input. Grade 8 graduation needs parental support.

VALENTINE'S DANCE-A-THON

The Valentine's Dance-a-thon was a great success. Lots of fun CHA-CHA SLIDING and dancing to many other songs. We are using this money to pay for buses going to Camp Olympia and for a new sound system for the gym. Thanks again for your support.

Perfect Attendance December/January

Congratulations to the students who had perfect attendance for the December and/or January months. Attendance and punctuality are KEYS to SUCCESS in school and in life. Keep up the great work!

Snowsnake Date Changed From Tomorrow to the 23rd!

Snowsnake tournament has been moved to Friday, February 23rd. This is the LAST day we will move the tournament to. If it does not go on this day, then it will be cancelled altogether.

The same times, teams, and menu still applies.

Valentine's Day Dance-A-Thon

On Wednesday, February 14th, 2007, the school will be having a Dance-A-Thon Fundraising Event. We are trying to raise money for a new sound system (speakers, amp., chords, etc.) to update our current 1979, overheating, out of date, system! We are also trying to raise money for the buses that will send students to Camp Olympia.

The Dance will run from 1-2:50pm in the gym. Students are asked to wear red or pink in order to get into the Valentine's Spirit! We will be handing out PRIZES to the students wearing RED OR PINK and who are shaking their booty!

PLEASE COMPLETE THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE FORM AND RETURN TO THE SCHOOL ALONG WITH THE MONEY RAISED. MONEY NEEDS TO BE RETURNED BY WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB. 14TH, 2007.
