Secondary Announcements for Monday, March 17: The final badminton team has been chosen and is posted outside of the gym. All team members are expected to be at practice tonight at 2:30. There will be a meeting for all prom committee members this Thursday, March 20th at lunch in room 227. Congratulations to all those who participated in the TISS Winter Olympics. Special congratulations to our medal winners. The grade nine boys team representing Jamaica and led by captains Jared Payette and Drew Morin showed a great deal of spirit and skill in capturing the bronze medals. In a very close battle finishing only two points behind the winners, our Silver medalists were team North Korea, led by captains Payden Selleck and Dawson Smith. In the end, the speed and endurance of the Flying Dutchman, speed skater Conor Taugher and Captain Declan Colwells leadership were too much for all challengers as Team Haiti captured the overall title, the Gold medal and all of the bragging rights. Special thanks to the members of the Recreational Leadership class who did an outstanding job of organizing and running the event. March Break 2015 is your chance to visit the capitals of Europe.
