Dear friends at Negya Primary School,
At Albion Heights we have had a lot of fun and exiting things happening. There was the Talent Show that was called So You Think You Got Talent? It was very fun and amazing because it was well organized and a lot of amazing students sang, danced and played musical instruments for an audience of family and friends. The best part was that all the talent acts were original. The people who took part in the talent show were from Albion Heights school, past graduates and teachers. The Talent show was a total success.
Next we would like to tell you about our Track and Field Day. Track and Field Day is a competition for the entire school. It was very tiring for some people but the people that really put their best effort and won their events went to York University to compete against other schools from the city of Toronto. It was a blast. 2 students from Albion Heights Junior Middle School even made it to the city semi finals, with will be on June 11. Now let’s see if they can make our school proud!
Did you know we also had a chess tournament? It was OK because we lost our trophy to Smithfield Middle School. We came in second to Highfield Junior School. The students that participated were in grades 4, 5 and 6. When the students came back from their tournament they were excited and disappointed at the same time because they lost but they had a great experience.
Now we would like to tell you about our schools girl soccer team. Unfortunately the girls lost to Karen Kain Middle School. They lost 3 to 0. The MVP of the soccer team was Navreet in grade 7. The captain was Kieu Tran. But they did try their best and they had a good time.
The next big event is our Fun Day, which is being organized by the Future Leaders Club. It will benefit Ngeya Primary School. Students will get to come to the gym during the school day and play some fun activities with their friends.
It has been a busy May and June here at Albion Heights. It is hard to believe that the school year is almost over. We are finished on June 29th. All of us in the Future Leaders Club wish you a great summer holiday.
Brittany and Ruby

The Olympics are coming to Canada!
We are excited that the 2010 Olympic Winter Games are coming to Canada this year! Our school has been learning about the significance of the Olympic Torch, and eagerly awaiting the start of the games in one week.
We are especially interested in the games because one of the teachers at our school is a former Olympic athlete and a silver medal winner! Her name is Ms. McCormack and she teaches grade 8 and physical education. (That's her picture above) Here is her biography:
Forward Kathy McCormack did not play ice hockey for the first eight years of her life, and she spent the next eight playing on boys’ teams. She made her first appearance on a female team in 1991 at the Canada Winter Games representing New Brunswick, and later won a silver medal at the 1995 Canadian Championships and a bronze one at the 1996 edition with the squad. She joined the Maritimes Sports Blades club in 1996 and then qualified for the Canadian national team the following year. Her efforts earned her a trip to the 1998 Winter Olympics, where she suited up for six matches and took home a silver medal in the first official Olympic women’s ice hockey tournament. In 1999 she moved to Oakville, Ontario to skate with the Oakville Ice of the National Women’s Hockey League, but soon took up a job as a grade school teacher and retired from active play. As of 2009 she is a teacher at Albion Heights Junior Middle School in Toronto, Ontario. She carried the Olympic torch through her hometown of Blackville, New Brunswick in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Hey Kenya,
How are you all? Well, Albion Heights is doing just fine. If you haven't heard, Haiti was hit by an earthquake and many people died. The people who lost their family members really need everybody's help. So, we have decided to raise money to help Haiti by having a bake sale at our school. We have asked the students to bring some desserts like cookies and cakes to sell at the bake sale. Also we have asked the students to have a dress down day on friday, IF they donate $1 the students don't have to wear their uniforms, they can wear anything they want. All the money goes to earthquake relief in Haiti.
Hope you write back,
Albion Heights
