Terry Fox Walk
On Monday, September 26th the staff and students at Brown Jr. P.S. took part in the annual Toonie for Terry Walk. Students made signs and posters and carried them proudly in memory of Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope. As a school, we raised $650.00 and will be sending it to the Terry Fox Foundation for Cancer Research. Thank you to all of the staff and students for participating a special thank you to the parents for your generous support.

Girls’ Slo-Pitch
It seemed that school had scarcely started and already we were asking girls to try out for this year's slo-pitch team. As usual, it was very hard for Master Chin "Sensei" to choose among the great athletes and narrow it down to our team of 12. We would like to thank all of the ladies who came out. Thank you for braving the rain and the cold. You are winners just for trying.
Our season started with an exhibition game against John Wanless. We are happy to announce that we won a close game: 7 to 6. We were ready for the real thing: Tuesday's tournament. We are again happy to report that we won all three of our games against Huron, Westwood and Northlea and were crowned the tournament winners!
We are excited to face our next challenge: our quarter final game against John Ross Robertson, tentatively scheduled for Thursday after school. Please wish us luck!
Congratulations to this year's Ligers, a great group of young ladies with spirit, heart, sense of humour and some baseball skills thrown in to boot. Three cheers for: Audrey "Breaker", Cordelia "Ice", Jacqueline "Jagger", Katya "Cannon", Lauren "Proof", Leah "Cinqo", Michelle "Primo" (NOT Promo!), Natalie "Legend", Paola "Professor", Roxy "Astro", Samantha "The Rock", Sydney "Vicious" .
Many thanks to our parents for their encouragement and support and for cheering so loudly. Special thanks to Colette, Dorin and David for their coaching help and to Claire, Connie, and, Sara for the rides. Merci to Mona and Colette for the refreshments. We really couldn't do it without you.
LIGERS ON THREE: 1-2-3: LIGERS!
