FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7

Do you like poetry and performing in front of a live audience?

The Saints English Department is elated to announce the First Annual Poetry and Voice competition at St. Anne's High School.

This Canada-wide competition involves memorizing three famous poems and reciting them in front of a live audience.  Students are eligible to perform the poems in the national Poetry and Voice competition held in Vancouver in May, and they also have a chance to win a $5000 grand prize!

Come on out Saints on Wednesday, Feb. 12 and find out more information about Poetry and Voice on both lunches in the upstairs Conference Room.

Attention all students who love to write and also all SLAM POETS:

Last night your Senior Saints were ousted in overtime 69 to 57 by the Forster Spartans.  The Saints were in position to pull off the mild upset but did not close the deal.  Anthony Zrvnar, Jack Zimmerman, Dan Anderi, and Ryan Kiss all tallied double figures from the Saints.  Next up is St. Joe's in preliminary round playoff action Monday at 5:30 at Carmelita.  Plan ahead - need a better turnout from St. Anne nation next time.
