SENIOR BOYS BASKETBALL -2017 PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS!
For the second time in four years, our Senior Boys Basketball team was crowned BC 4A Boys
Provincial Champions on Saturday March 11! In a thrilling Championship Game, our Gators beat
the Kelowna Owls 78-65 for the 5th time this year, enacting revenge for last year’s loss in the
provincial semi finals. The game was very close from the start and the teams were tied halfway
through the final quarter, before our boys pulled away for a win. The victory capped off a fantastic
week and incredible season for the team. The Gators cruised to an easy 116-34 win over Mt. Baker
from Cranbrook on the opening day of the Provincials before dismantling Kitsilano 100-74 in the
quarter finals. In the semi finals, the Gators took on the Holy Cross Crusaders, a team the Gators
had just recently defeated to capture the Fraser Valley Championship. After a close first quarter, the
Gators broke the game open to pull away for a convincing 90-58 victory that advanced them to the
Championship game. On the season, the Gators were dominant, only losing one game all year to
BC Competition and capturing six of seven tournaments that they entered. As mentioned above,
they were also crowned Fraser Valley Champions! Individual recognition goes to Grade 11 James
Woods, named MVP of the BC Tournament. Graduating seniors Ty Rowell (1st team) and Andrew
Goertzen (2nd team) were both named to the Provincial All Star Team and our school also won the
School Spirit Award for the tourney! A huge shout out and congratulations to Coach George Bergen
for winning his second provincial basketball championship and for the countless hours of time he
has committed to his players and the Gator basketball program over the past 25 years! Well done,
George!

TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION ASSEMBLIES
The Truth and Reconciliation Assemblies held on Tuesday March 7 were a wonderful culmination
and celebration of the work that the staff and students of WGSS have undertaken over the past year
to learn, understand and celebrate our Aboriginal history, culture and communities. Over the past
year, our students have been learning a great deal about our Aboriginal history, especially around
the impact of Residential Schools on our First Nations people. This has occurred through classroom
instruction, our Orange Shirt Day assemblies back in September, and the recent classroom
presentations involving the Project of Heart Canoe display in our library. At Tuesday's assemblies,
Mike Morgan, District Principal of Aboriginal Learning, delivered an inspiring, interactive
presentation to our students regarding Truth and Reconciliation and the importance of the work that
still needs to be done in this area. As well, we were very fortunate to have Michael and Kevin Kelly
Gabriel from the Kwantlen First Nation speak to our students about their own family's experience
with Residential Schools. The students were also treated to traditional Aboriginal drumming from
many of our district Aboriginal workers. Finally, the ceremony culminated with the unveiling of the
WGSS Longhouse Project, a collaborative venture involving five of our staff members. Over the
past year, Ms. Norman, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Halabourda, Ms. Shogren, and Una Moyer, our Aboriginal
Support Worker, have used the district's Collaboration time to plan, design, develop and build this
longhouse, which symbolizes Walnut Grove's commitment to carrying on with the work of the Truth
and Reconciliation Commission. Just on Thursday, the longhouse was mounted permanently in our
school courtyard along with the district Truth and Reconciliation plaque, as a daily reminder of the
need to continue the work that has been started over the past year. Una and a few of our Aboriginal
students unveiled the plaque and spoke to the meaning of the artwork and symbols represented on
the longhouse. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this project and our Truth and
Reconciliation Assemblies a success!

VISITING MUSIC STUDENTS FROM REGINA
Yesterday, two former Langley teachers, Russ and Deidre Baird, who are now teaching in Regina,
brought their music students from Regina’s Campbell Collegiate, to WGSS for an impromptu music
concert in the Cafeteria. The Regina students were on their way to a music festival in BC, but the
teachers contacted Mr. Fawkes and Mr. Angell and wanted to stop by to visit their old school, so
they made the extra trip to Langley to perform. Here are a couple of photos from today’s event!
STAFF-STUDENT BASKETBALL GAME
Also on Thursday, the annual Staff vs. Student Basketball Game took place at lunch. This year, the
occasion was also used to honour the Senior Boys Basketball team’s Provincial Championship.
Prior to the actual game, the team was recognized in front of their fans and together with Coach
George Bergen, the players raised the Championship Banner to the rafters in the Main Gym. And as
they did all season long, the Senior Boys won the game as well!

FENCING IN FRENCH IMMERSION
As part of their Physical Education Curriculum, our Grade 8 French Immersion students were
introduced to the Olympic sport of Fencing recently. Mme. Granger and Mme. Kurrein, our two
French Immersion PE teachers, brought in a Fencing Club to do a three-part lesson series with our
students. On day one and two, the students were introduced to the equipment, rules, and basic
techniques involved in the sport. After two days of learning and practicing the fencing moves, the
students concluded their learning with a full out fencing tournament on day three. This is the second
year our French Immersion Department has included Fencing as part of the PE curriculum. The
students love the unit and had a great time learning and getting to try out a sport that we don’t often
think of here in Canada! Special thanks to Mme. Granger for organizing and to the French
Immersion Department for the financial support to allow this very cool learning opportunity to take
place!
You've got to be fast on
your feet! It's harder than
