Ultimate Frisbee

The Game About Throwing a Frisbee

What makes Ultimate Frisbee so ultimate is not that other sports are not ultimate, or are less ultimate, it’s because it is the only sport with the name that has the word ultimate within it, ultimately making Ultimate Frisbee indeed, ultimate.

When: Starting on the 26th of March, Mondays and Wednesdays after school, each will session will probably be from 40 minutes to an hour

Where: Football Field           Who: Grades 6 to 12                         What: Read the title again                          Why: Why not

Another thing about this activity is that none of these dates or grade levels are set, so if you are for example in grade 5 and want to join, email either Fari, or me, Muyen if you would like rot join. Or email Mr Hutchison.

Unrelated Fact: Notice the word “Frisbee” by itself is actually capitalized as this is a trademarked name by the Wham-O toy company, yet Ultimate Frisbee is still used as the name of the sport only using Ultimate Disc in official discussion. Also, it was the owner’s family name.

Book Club – MS / US Students

Do you like reading? 喜欢看书吗?Would you like to join a book club to talk about the books you have read? If so, I have good news for you,a Student book club will start soon. It will meet on Fridays 3.15-4.15 in the Library. This will be your chance to tell others about those great books you have been reading, and of course, hear from others about their great books. Please email me if you are interested in joining.

Bell Submission

You may have noticed that many bells this year have been repeats of submissions from previous years. This week, we have Pokemon Go, which was submitted last year by grade 5. We reuse bells because there aren’t enough bells submitted to fill all the time slots.

For the remainder of the year, we have blocked out slots for DP exams, the PYP production, and the last week of school. Otherwise, all bell slots are empty. If you would like to submit a bell for this year, please email Miss Keus. Otherwise, I’ll start going through submissions from Mr. Mello, Mr. Marsh, Mr. Coad, and Mrs. Moen, whose advisories always do multiple submissions.

Thanks,

Miss Keus
