RDC Kings basketball win on the weekend !!!

Good morning everyone,

I had an exciting weekend as on Saturday night I was promoted to head coach of the Kings Basketball team for the night. We played the Agustana Vikings in Camrose and the guys made me look great on my 2012 coaching debut as we picked up another win, and remain undefeated on the season. We are also currently ranked the number two team in the country for Men's College Basketball.

Next games are this Thursday in Calgary and Saturday night at home in Red Deer against SAIT. Really appreciate the support form the students who come out to watch, and cheer us on. Specially Calvin who hasn't missed a game in Red Deer.

See ya soon look forward to hearing how every one's weekend went.

Cheers
Mr. Smith

Everyday in the morning a new question will be posted, and the students need to reply to the question on the blog by posting a comment. The student will make use the IPads or computers to post their reply / answer.

If students keep on top of this and successfully answer 75% of the questions in a month they will be able to participate in a special class lunch on a selected day at the end of the month. The questions will be an extension of learning, and related to curriculum with a fun one thrown in on one of the days. All answers will be reviewed by Mr. Smith before being posted.  The Question Of The Day tab can be found at the top of the blog.
