| Baby Gus Arsenault visits his proud daddy! |
I know I usually aim for Monday's with these posts, but I wanted to get some of this information out to you in advance of our return from March Break. I trust that all our students enjoyed the time away from the everyday and that we will see them all back on Monday rested up and raring to go! We're headed into the home stretch, and it is our hope that all will want to finish strong!
Mr. Arsenault and our rugby players have Summerside Storm playoff tickets on sale now for $5. The first playoff game is this Sunday, March 24 at 2 p.m. and the next home game is Tuesday, March 26 at 7 p.m. Both games are against the Windsor Express. If you would like to secure tickets for Sunday's game, you can ask any TOSH rugby player you happen to know or call Joel Arsenault at (902) 439-4894.

GRAD PROM DATE CLARIFICATION!
There was some confusion about the date chosen for our Grad Prom this year and I will be making an announcement to students when we return on Monday to bring some clarity and closure to the situation. The definitive date for the prom is May 25. We had originally chosen May 18 as our prom date and then the wrong date went into our Student Agenda book, causing confusion for students and prom organizers. As a result, our venue (Credit Union Place) was booked for May 25. When I called the CUP to see if that date could be changed, I was told that the weekend of May 18 is booked for the RBC Cup, so I guess May 18 was never really an option. I apologize for any inconvenience and unnecessary chagrin this mix up may have already caused our students/their families. The final answer is that the Grad Prom and banquet will take place on Saturday, May 25. More detailed information will follow as we get closer to that date.
BLUEFIELD HIGH FRIENDSHIP HOCKEY TOURNAMENT
March 26-28 and 30
TOSH has entered a Men's and Women's team (A and AA players) in the 2nd Annual Bluefield High School Friendship Hockey Tournament. All monies from ticket sales to TOSH games (with the exception of the final game) go directly back to our school! Tickets are on sale through team members or TOSH Athletics. Also, all 50/50 tickets sold in advance allows us a return of 44%. The proceeds from 50/50 ticket sales sold at the games go to Bluefield HS. The schedule is available via the Bluefield High School website: http://bluefieldhighschool.wordpress.com/. Hope to see lots of supporters out to cheer on our teams!
