Congratulations to the MDJH Grizzlies that competed in the recent NL Winter Games in Gander. Students participated in many events, and helped win medals in Hockey, Curling, Cross Country Skiing, and many more!

Many Grizzlies participated with St. John’s North teams. For a look at the teams and medal counts, please click here.

MDJH student Emma S. had the privilege of being selected with Leah Q. (former MDJH student and hockey team gold medal winner) to accept the NL Winter Games Premier’s Cup on behalf of all the St. John’s North athlete group for the region that accumulated the most points.

Way to go, Grizzlies!

MDJH’s Ultimate Frisbee Team continues to practice on Sundays from 7:30-9 pm. We have a great group of committed and enthusiastic players who have been steadily improving all year!

As students prepare for their provincial tournament in May, we are looking for more female (or non-binary) players to join the team. Ultimate Frisbee is co-ed sport and teams must have more than one gender represented to play in competition in Junior High.

This is a great opportunity for students to get involved with a new sport and to learn new skills. Many of our students have only started playing this year and have already learned a lot thanks to our excellent coaches. Students who have played other sports can easily adapt those skills to Ultimate Frisbee and anyone can quickly pick up the basics of the sport. If students have any interest in trying out the sport, now is a great time! Come out to a practice and see what you think!

Anyone who is interested can check in with Mr. Downey in Room 210, email chrisdowney@nlesd.ca, or just come on out on Sunday night!

There will be a Professional Development Day at MDJH tomorrow (Wednesday, March 6th). There will be no classes as a result.

Classes resume on Thursday, March 7th. It will be Day 3 on the calendar.
