A tournament consisting of multiple teams competing to be this year’s dodgeball intramural champions! The best part of all, you get to make your own teams, so grab your buddies and head on over. However there are a few things to keep in mind, each squad has a total of seven players, and must consist of a minimum of two boys and two girls. Each team member must also sign a permission form, which you can find on the SAC board in front of the large gym. Once again, registration takes place on Valentines day, which is friday, february the 14th, make sure to make your way to the front foyer by 8:00 am. Each team must designate a team captain, who will hand in the permission forms, as well as $2 for each participant. There are limited spaces, so ensure you arrive on time, as the vacancies are first come first serve. Once you have secured a spot, look out for posts on the SAC instagram @strobertsac, as they will post the game schedules. The matches will take place in the large gym after school from 3 to 5 pm, with the date to be further determined.

An Enchanted Evening With STUCO! Everything about Semi-Formal

Trevor Wu (11) | STAFF REPORTER

It’s that time of the year again, our school’s annual semi formal! Whether you like to dance, or eat, or both, this is the perfect occasion! As per usual, hosted by our own student council (STUCO), this event will take place on March 6, 2025. As per all semi formal events though, it is exclusive to grade tens and elevens. So sorry grade nines, grade twelves on the other hand get lots of their own special events, so you’re the only ones left out. Although the location of the venue hasn’t been disclosed yet, it will likely remain the same as previous years, the Crystal Fountain. The theme for this year’s semi-formal will be an enchanted evening! Although I have no clue how to dress for that occasion, STUCO’s post incorporates a dimly lit fantasy forest like background, so maybe prepare a fairy costume. Venue tickets have already gone on sale, so make sure to log onto School Day and snatch one for yourself! Semi will take place from 5:30 PM to 10 PM on March 6, 2025, remember to mark that on your calendars. Other than that, more information can be found on STUCO’s Instagram, and I hope you all have an amazing time! read more
