• Bowling yesterday - Big battle, making a charge were were Leighton and Mr. Wong.  Brannen, of course, was right there.  Mr. Tisdale closed the 10th frame with a strike and spare, setting the stage for an epic upset.  First, Leighton came so close - then Mr. Wong.  Finally, Brannen came up for his 10th frame.  He spared and was down by 11 pts, needing the front 3 pins to drop for a tie or even one more for a win… it was close and exciting!  Come out next Tuesday for your chance to dethrone the reigning bowling champion of The BRICK Learning Centre, Mr. Tisdale

• Some drills this week - hold and secure (today) and we have a fire drill planned for later, but the weather is looking unfavourable so perhaps next week.  We might just do a Lock down instead.  What’s the difference between the two?  
• Hold and secure - the threat is outside the school so we lock the outer doors and operate as per normal inside the school.  Lock down is when there is a threat inside the school and everyone must get to a safe, locked location until there is an all clear.
