Dear DGS Families,
This week’s message is all about Interschool Athletics. Let’s take a trip in the way-back machine to the Fall of 2021….
We kick started the 2021-2022 school year with our cross-country and soccer seasons.
The cross-country team had 20 participants who had a great showing in two divisional meets.
The girls soccer team had a successful season and a lot of fun with Mr. Bews and Ms. Moore as their as their coaches. Little did we know that this was the last team Mr. Bews would get to coach!
The boys soccer team had a season to remember earning the title of UNDEFEATED DIVISION CHAMPIONS! We look forward to this being displayed proudly on our 21/22 athletics banner.
All four junior and senior volleyball teams had an awesome season with the senior girls winning their division title and adding to our 21/22 athletics banner. Volleyball is definitely a growing sport at Dr. George and it’s exciting to see that so many of our students love the game.
The next wave of Covid interrupted the basketball and wrestling seasons, but we are looking forward to late Fall and early Winter 2022 when we can take to the mats and the courts once again.
We had 4 talented badminton teams compete in a meet and all 4 teams placed extremely well. Our grade 8’s & 9’s both finished 4th in their division. The grade 6’s ended up 2nd and our grade 7 team added to our 21/22 banner with a first-place finish.
Our track and field meet was a great success. We had so many highlights from the day with many athletes and relay teams placing first in their events. We ended up in second place due to some events not being filled. We would love to bring a full team for the 2022/2023 Track meet.
I want to thank all of our student athletes, teacher and community coaches and our super supportive parent community who have made all of this possible. It takes commitment and dedication to attend practices and games to represent our school in the CMLSAA this season. We are extremely proud of our Interschool Athletics Program and we are looking forward to an active, exciting 2022-2023 school year!
