<p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">The Live to Dance
Conference is<strong> this</strong> Monday May 28th </span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">We are leaving
OSS at 7 am (note time change) and meeting with Bear Creek to head to
Toronto. Bring dance clothes, water bottle, lunch money. We will return to OSS
around 6 pm. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">Permission forms
and money due to MacMillan TODAY. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">Runners for
Track, there will be practice today for qualifiers. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">We also need
to confirm your events and talk about transportation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">The Junior Boys
Rugby team played their last game of the regular season against the top team in
the league yesterday. Despite the heat and being going down 19-0 halfway
through the second half, the Nighthawks dug deep and fought back with two hard
earned tries to make the score 19-12. The boys pressed to the final
whistle and ultimately ran out of time. They should be congratulated on playing
their best game of the season and earning themselves a fourth place finish in
the league. Playoffs are next week with the boys set to play Banting in
the quarterfinals. Good luck Nighthawks!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">The girl’s rugby
team played a tough and determined team from Banting in the quarterfinals
yesterday. The Nighthawks rucked the ball with intensity and carried
the play for much of the game. The girls held the lead into the second half and
it was only a couple of unfortunate plays that prevented the Nighthawks
from putting away their opponent. Banting managed to claw back into the game
and tie the score. The OSS girls responded by pressing for the winning try
right to the last whistle, and just ran out of time and space. The game was decided
in the worst possible fashion by going directly to kicks for post. Mackenzie
Chin carried the weight of her team on her shoulders, but a lucky kick by the
opposing team proved to be the difference. Heads up girls, your coaches
are proud of you and you showed what it means to play with heart and never give
up. Congratulations on a great season!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">From the Music
Department:</span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">Thank you to all
our music students who performed in our concert last night. It was a huge
success! It was a night that demonstrated talent throughout every group!
Mrs. Watson says a special thanks!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">Also thank you to
