| Announcements Week of December 13 | http://eas.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/213 | Announcements Week of December 13 | <h1>Friday, December 17</h1><p><br>All <strong>Eastview Football</strong> players planning to order team jackets must have their order forms in to Mr. Fontaine by today please! Payment can be made through schoolcashonline but the order forms MUST be submitted directly to Mr. Fontaine.<br><br>Any <strong>Eastview Junior or Senior Football</strong> players who DID NOT receive a team picture can pick one up from Mr Fontaine in the library TODAY.<br><br>It’s <strong>Fruit Friday</strong>, Wildcats!! Stocking Stuffer fruit bars were already distributed on Wednesday, but we will be circulating in the café today with Gotcha ballots for students who have brought fruit for lunch. As this is our final Fruit Friday of 2021, we also have 3 New Year-and-fruit-themed trivia questions and the first Wildcat to come down to Guidance with the correct answer to any of the questions can select a prize: <br><em>Question #1:</em> The New Year’s Eve dinner table in WHICH COUNTRY is typically laid out with 12 spherical fruits, one for each month of the year. Round shapes here are thought to attract prosperity and abundance because they resemble gold and silver coins. Apples, oranges, plums and peaches are favoured, while thorny fruits like pineapple and jackfruit are avoided as the spikes symbolize obstacles. People in this country may also wear polka-dotted clothing on December 31st as part of this symbolic homage to circular shapes.<br><em>Question #2:</em> In lieu of a traditional champagne toast, WHICH COUNTRY was the first to see 12 grapes eaten at the stroke of midnight on December 31st to ensure good luck for the 12 months ahead? Legend has it this tradition started in the late 1800s as a way for wine growers to use up their excess crop. <br>Question #3: The Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, takes place during the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, which is typically September or October. More subdued than other celebrations, it’s a time of repentance and contemplation. One special ritual is the blowing of the shofar, a trumpet made from the horn of a ram. During Rosh Hashanah, it’s tradition to eat round challah, a loaf of braided bread, together with WHICH FRUIT, which are believed to have healing properties? The fruit are served dipped in honey, which signifies hope for a sweet year ahead. <br>Happy Holidays from the Eastview Wellness Team, Wildcats! See you in 2022! <br><br>Congratulations to the <strong>senior girls' volleyball team</strong> who ran their league record to a perfect 3 and OH with a solid 3 sets to 1 victory over Nantyr Shores. After dropping the first set 26 , 24 the ladies regrouped and stormed back to sweep the remaining 3 games. Although the victory was a complete team effort, special mention must go out to rookie right side Emma Mason who stepped up into the starting lineup playing significant minutes. Veteran Alicia Smith dominated the middle of the court with her consistent hits and Ava Write came up huge pounding balls from the left side when the team needed points the most. Awesome start to the season ladies, enjoy your well-deserved rest over the holidays!<br><br>A big congratulations to the <strong>Christmas Cheer fundraising</strong> winnner AND <strong>door decorating contest</strong> . . . Ms. Robinson's class!<br><br><strong>Spirit Wear</strong> - please come to the office to office today if you haven't yet collected your order.<br><br><strong>ESSAA</strong>, ESSAA, EASSA . . . On behalf of our athletes, coaches, and the administration at Eastview, Mr. Kalbfleisch would like to extend a massive thank you to all the members of Eastview's Athletic Association. These are your fellow students who work tirelessly behind the scenes making sure our athletic programs run so smoothly. Prior to the games you will see them setting up the fields, nets and courts.... during the games they do all the timing, scoring, and lining of the fields.... and after the final whistle has blown and everyone has left to go home, they are the ones cleaning up, sometimes well into the evening. Our athletic program could not run without your efforts! Eastview is so very proud of you!!<br><br>Last night, the<strong> Junior Girls Volleyball</strong> team hosted Nantyr Shores, winning 3 sets to 1. The girls dominated the first set, lost the second in a wild 32-30 back and forth finish, but then took control again to win the 3rd and 4th sets for the victory. It was exciting to see such inspired play by everyone on the court. The team is hoping to have the opportunity to continue both the season, and their winning ways, in the new year following the break. Congratulations girls!<br><br>On Wednesday the <strong>Sr Boys Basketball</strong> team secured their 3rd straight win of the season against Banting, with a score of 78-48. It was a combined team effort that shifted the energy and momentum in the second half to allow Eastview to take the lead for the remainder of the game. These high scoring wins have propelled Eastview into the top seed position (out of 9 teams) going into the break! Last practice of 2021 will be today at 3pm to prepare for our game against Collingwood on Wed.
