With such a strong team effort your colts claimed, for the first time, the girls overall and boys overall City Championship. As Mackie Edwards would say, “IT WAS AWESOME.” The following is a list of the top 6 finishers.

NOSSA Update:

For the first time in school history your Korah Cross Country team came home from NOSSA as Aqqreate Overall Champions! The Junior Girls and Senior Boys came home as team champions while the Senior Girls were second overall, and the Midget Boys team tied for second. Top honors go to Mariah Krancevich who finishes second in junior girls, while Nick Burns and Jack Carlyle were fifth overall. Though the weather conditions were less than ideal, and the team was hit hard by the flu, all runners dug deep and ran their hearts out! Sixteen runners will now be representing Korah at OFSAA later in the week. Congratulations and way-to-go Colts!

Welcome Week

During the week of September 14-18, 2009, Korah's grade 9 homerooms battled each other in the 2009 “Welcome Week” competitions. The winning class was named “Grade 9 Orientation Week Homeroom Champions 2009 ” and received an in-class Subway party! The competitions included dress up days--with points awarded to the homeroom for each student dressed appropriately. The dress up themes were as follows:

MONDAY- Pajama Day (Students were invited to wear their PJ's)
TUESDAY- Jersey Day (Any sports jersey of their choice)
WEDNESDAY- Western Day (Cowboy/western themed attire)
THURSDAY- Spirit Day! (Our colours, BROWN AND GOLD)
FRIDAY- Crazy Hair/Hat Day

Along with each themed attire day, there were fun competitive events occurring at lunch time. Monday's event was a Tug-o'-War, where homerooms would try to pull the other over the “line.” Tuesday consisted of the Korah classic Ice Cream Eating Contest, where blindfolded students would have to feed other blindfolded students while standing behind them--a tough feat! Wednesday's event was a water balloon toss. Thursday's event was the fantastic “Fly On The Wall” which students have enjoyed for many years. The task? To duct tape a student ambassador (Grade 10-12) to the gym wall (no easy undertaking), and see how long they remain there after removing the chair below their feet. Friday's event was the most active for the whole school. Many people in all grades watched, and some participated. Grade 9's had the task of dunking Korah students and teachers in the “Dunk Tank!” Some of the Korah 'dunk reps' included: our principal--Mr. Iacoe, Mr. Martella, Greg Gagnon, Joe Tassone, Mr. Manchester, Students' Council Presidents--Alison Bovingdon and Stephanie Johnson, and more!

Because of these events, an anonymous grade 9 student says he feels “more at home because [his] home room class worked together to be the best [they] could be, and even though [they] didn't win, [they] had fun trying.” Korah students would like to thank Mr. Giovanatti, Mrs. Elliott, Students' Council and presidents Stephanie Johnson and Alison Bovingdon for organizing such a great event!
