We look forward to meeting our new Mavericks and their families soon! 2022-23 elective selection process Grades 8-11It's that time of year for our students in Grades 8-11 (next year's Grades 9-12) to select their elective courses for the 2022-23 school year. Mrs. Edel is working through her presentation tour for students. The school requires each student who is planning to return to Morris School next year to complete a worksheet/selection sheet and then completing an online form to confirm your selections. This process is one of the most important tasks where the students are involved in our planning process for staffing next year. Senior Years' staffing assignments are based on student numbers in each elective and mandatory courses. This process needs to be taken seriously as it will have repercussions on what courses we offer as a school as well as the teaching assignment for our teachers. We want to minimize the number of students who select an elective in the spring of 2022 and then drop their selection in the fall or in February of 2023. Grades 6 & 7 students will also be selecting their elective courses for next year as well. Watch out for blog posts in April to detail that process. Mav's curling sweep and shoot their way to 3rdAfter finishing a perfect 5-0 at the Zone IV Curling Championships held here in Morris back on February 12th and 13th, your Maverick boys curling team earned the right to represent Zone IV and Morris School this past weekend at the MHSAA Curling Provincial Championships in Hamiota, MB. 15 teams from A, AA, AAA, and AAAA schools from across Manitoba competed for the MHSAA Provincial Championship banner. Before the bonspiel even began the boys faced some adversity as they learned they would be without lead Andrew Penner for the weekend due to illness. Zach, Avery and Ethan knew it would be a battle without Andrew, but were ready for the challenge. The boys started their quest for the Provincial Championship with a game against the hometown Hamiota Huskies at 9:00 am Thursday morning. The boys came out firing, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first end and didn’t look back cruising to an 11-3 win. The next game for the boys was against the St. Paul’s Crusaders at 2:30 pm. This game started off a bit shaky with the boys giving up a steal of 1 in the 1st end. They quickly bounced back with a deuce to take a 2-1 lead and followed that up with a steal of their own to take 3-1 lead after 4 ends. The Crusaders got 1 back in the 4th to make it 3-2 Mavericks at the 4th end break. Zach made a nice draw on his last rock of the 5th to make it 4-2. The Crusaders would not go away though getting a deuce of their own in the 6th to tie the game 4-4. Your Mavericks then responded with a big 4 in the 7th end and then ran the Crusaders out of rocks in the 8th to take the game 8-4. In the A-side semi-final game the Mavericks faced the Virden Bears. The boys went down 3-0 early in this game, but bounced back to tie the game at 3-3 by the 5th end. Unfortunately, the Bears were able to grab a 3 ender in the 6th end to take a 6-3 lead into the 7th. Playing their 3rd game of the day with only 3 players seemed to catch up with the boys in the 7th end as they ran out of gas trying desperately to get back in the game, but gave up a steal of 2 to end the game with an 8-3 loss. After the day off on Friday, the boys were back on the ice Saturday morning at 9:00 am to try and win their way back into the A-side - B-side final. It would take 4 wins to get there, but the boys were positive and ready to take on whoever they needed to in order to get into that final game. The first game of the day was against those same St. Paul’s Crusaders they had defeated on Thursday afternoon. The game started with 2 blank ends and then your Mavericks scored a big 3 ender in the 3rd end to take a 3-0 lead. The 4th end was a blank and then the Crusaders got on the board with a single to make it 3-1 after 5 ends. The Crusaders made it close with a steal of 1 in the 6th, but the Mavericks bounced back with a dagger 4 ender to win the game 7-2. In the B-side semi-final the boys took on the Gimli Lakers. The game started well for the boys and they got on the scoreboard first with a deuce in the 1st end. The 2nd end was a blank and the Mavericks stole 1 point in the 3rd and the fourth end to take a 4-0 lead into the 4th end break. Gimli however, would not go away and scored a big 3 ender to get within 1 of the Mavericks. The boys fought back in the 6th to get a deuce and take a 3 point lead into the 7th end. Gimli was able to get a single in the 7th end to pull within 2 playing the 8th end. Unfortunately, not much went the boys' way in the 8th end and Gimli scored 3 to take the game 7-6 and end the Mavericks run at Provincials. The Lakers went on to win the Provincial Championship leaving the boys with a 3rd place finish. The boys should be very proud of their performance at the Provincials. They curled extremely well and were excellent ambassadors for Zone IV and Morris School. Congratulations to the boys on an awesome curling season.
