Congratulations:
Hoopfest 2012...a success! Our Loyola Warriors were extremely impressive winning 58-49, especially considering that the Peel Police team had some players that appeared 10 feet tall!!! Our boys outmaneuvered and outplayed them the entire time. They were simply incredible! All of the senior boys basketball team wore #44 in memory of Patrick Wright. Watch the game on Rogers T.V. at the end of this month. We will keep you posted as to the specific date it will air. Money raised supported the United Way of Peel.
Our Sr. Boys Hockey Team for winning the Mahler Classic in St. Catherine’s this past Saturday. This prestigious tournament showcased 14 teams that made it to OFSSA last year.
Our Sr. Lady Warriors Basketball Team captured their second consecutive ROPSSAA 'AAA' Championship on Friday afternoon at Iona. We won 58-48 in a very exciting & well-executed game by our girls. It was their second win in 24 hours & their third win of the week. They advanced to the Tier 2 Championship Game with a 54-33 victory over Lorne Park on Monday. This victory puts us into the championship game this Wednesday @ 6:30 @ Sheridan College in Brampton. Hope to see you there to cheer our Lady Warriors on to victory again!
OFSAA – Cross Country
After her gold-medal ROPSSAA win, Cailie McGuire went on to compete at OFSAA in Ottawa. The competition took place at Green's Creek Conservation Area in Ottawa's east end and it was a beautiful fall day. Our warrior athlete competed very well in the junior girls division. Cailie finished her race 1 minute and 41 seconds behind the first place finisher in her 4 kilometer race. Cailie placed 31st out of a total of 236 cross country runners (of the best junior girls in the province).
Coaches Mrs. Odozor and Ms. Lawson are very proud of Caillie. Please join us in congratulating Cailie on her OFSAA race. Way to go Warrior!

Respect ~ February
God wants us to treat people with the respect they deserve.
A respectful person…
- sees God’s presence in themselves and others
- uses a positive tone of voice and body language
- avoids gossip, swearing, name calling, put downs, and inaapropriate gestures
- says “Excuse me,” “Please”, “Thank you”, “Sorry”
Our Daily Prayer for February
Let us now pray …for the virtue of respect so that everyone we meet will feel like we are their brother or sister in Christ. AMEN.
