Olympic News at Albion Heights!
The Olympic torch will be carried by one of the teachers from our school! On Friday, November 27, Ms. McCormack will run with the Olympic torch through her hometown of Blackville, New Brunswick. Ms. McCormack was chosen as a torch runner because she is a former Olympian, playing with the silver medal Canadian women's hockey team at the Nagano Olympics in 1998! Go Ms. McCormack!

All About Albion Heights Junior Middle School
We are going to talk about Albion Heights J.M.S. First, we want to talk about how teachers, staff and our visiting teachers have been treating us. They all treat us equally and fairly. Sometimes, they are strict for our silliness or bad behavior. Some students here in Canada think that punishment for bad behavior is unfair. Albion Heights is committed to caring and equal education to all students. The staff is committed to establishing programs that will help students with their school work.
We have about 500 students in our school and about 30 teachers. All of our teachers are committed to providing attention to each student in our school.
Albion Heights
School Sports
Our school has a lot of different sports. We have a soccer team, hockey team, basketball team, volley ball team, and a cross-county running team.
The cross-county team had a meet on October 5th 2009. The cross-county team went to a very famous park named Centennial Park. All the schools in the G.T.A. (Greater Toronto Area) came there and participated in a run. There were about 900 students from across Toronto who participated in the cross-country meet. From our school, about 50 of us students went. Grades 4-8 participated in a run that was about 2 km long (2000 meters). The grades 7-8 had to run 3 km (3000 m). The people who made it to the top 30 got to go to the city semi-finals. There were 3 students in our school who made it to the top 30. After the top 30, they had to make it to the top 10 in order to make it to the finals. Unfortunately, no one in our school made it to the city finals.
We also have a basketball team and a volley ball team every year. Every other year, we have a soccer and hockey team. Last year, we had a chess team. The chess team competed with other schools. The Albion Heights chess team won the championship trophy. The basketball team didn’t make it to the finals, but they still tried hard and won some games.
Special events
On October 13, we had our annual Terry Fox Walk. The whole school participated and we walked around the neighbourhood. Most of the students donated $2.00 to Terry Fox Foundation. Terry Fox was a famous Canadian, who ran across Canada to raise money for cancer research, even though his leg had been amputated after he had been diagnosed with bone cancer.
On October 26, we had our school clean-up. The whole school participated in making our community look beautiful, we each had one rubber glove to pick up the garbage in our assigned areas.
On October 30, the day before Halloween the primary and junior students had a Halloween parade inside the school. Each of the kids dressed up in their costumes and walked around the whole school to show off their costumes. It was fun and exciting to see and watch the different types of costumes that each student wore.
Another event that happened on October 31 was Halloween. Halloween is a traditional holiday that happens once a year. It's a day for young people to go outside at evening and trick or treat. Kids dress up in costumes and collect treats. Adults stay at home and hand out treats to children who come to their door.
Me to We Day
Going to the Me To We Day event was the best experience ever! all started that Monday morning. We were suppose to be at school for 7 A.M! It was very early for most of us, because most of us wake up at seven.
We were going downtown to be part of an event that would help us learn more about taking action, getting involved and working to make the world a better place.
Everyone was excited but tired because we had to wake up so early. We waked into the bus and noticed two other schools were coming with us. The bus ride was long, but once we got there it was so loud and crazy!
As we walked in the Air Canada Centre (Where the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team plays) we saw so many people and lots of different school. We got more excited and wondered what will happen next. As we walked in the auditorium we heard that Justin Bieber was in the house. Also there was loud and good music playing, as people danced. We saw lots of famous music groups like the Jonas brother, and Hedley. We also saw lots of famous people like Jessie from MTV, former Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, Elie Wiesel who won the Nobel Peace Prize and other important people from across the world. We also learned a lot about how we can work together with others in our community, our country and around the world, which helps us as people to make the world a better place!
