HFFT Breakfast Table Volunteers

Hey Hawks, are you looking to earn some community hours, or do you just want to volunteer to help with our amazing Breakfast Table Program sponsored by Halton Food for Thought? We are looking for some enthusiastic volunteers to come in one morning each week to help with set-up, food prep. and working at the breakfast tables. You must commit to being here on your scheduled day once per week, from 7:30 – 8:20 and you must also commit to being available for the full semester. If you are interested, and/or if you have any questions please see Mrs. Scott in the Main Office as soon as possible.

We also want to let everyone know that tomorrow morning we will start up our Breakfast Table, right in front of Hawk’s Haven next to the cafeteria doors. Our breakfast table is open to every single Loyola student and will be set up each school day from 7:30 – 8:20. We will be offering things like snack bars, muffins, cookies, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal and milk and will also have special breakfast days like Pancake Tuesdays and breakfast sandwich days. Your body, and your brain in particular, need the energy and nutrients to start the day right and carry on with your daily activities. Eating breakfast helps build lifelong healthy eating habits and most importantly, Breakfast Boosts Brainpower! If you haven’t had time for breakfast or haven’t had enough, please stop by and help yourself at our grab and go table.

Girls Basketball

This message is for all girls looking to play Junior or Senior Basketball – there will be a brief meeting today immediately after school in room 169 to sign up. Tryouts will take place tomorrow and Friday.

Baseball

Baseball season is back! We will be holding tryouts Thursday, Friday and Monday. Please see Mr. Angaran or Mr. DeStefano for forms in room 222.

Student Services

Student services will be calling down students by grad level, to book an appontment. Teachers, we apologize for the interruptions that this will cause. Students may book an appoihntment for the folloiwng reasons:

  1. Missing required course for graduation or post-sec. req. (Gr. 11 & 12)
  2. To fill an empty block in your schedulce
  3. You need to make a level/pathway changes.
  4. You took a course in summer school and ikt is still on your schedule.
  5. You were unsuccessful in a course last year or in summer school.
  6. Unfortunately, due to many courses that are at capacity we are not able to make changes to balance course loads in a semester. The counsellors will make every effort to support you with your requests; however, a change may not be possible. We will see the students that request an appointment, but please know it will not be possible for us to see everyone today. Students are t follow their timetables and participate in classes until a change has been made by a counsellor.

Pick up Soccer

This message is for any students interested in playing open pickup soccer on Friday mornings before school. We meet each and every Friday morning at 7:00am, create teams and play. It’s an excellent way to begin your Friday and weekend. Any students interested in playing open Friday morning soccer, please see Mr. De Stefano in room 222 for permission forms. All are welcome.
