Dear students and families,
The 2025 Ultimate Frisbee season is thriving at GFSS, with over 60 students competing. Their recent performance at the Southern Flights tournament in Oliver was exceptional. The Senior team continued their winning streak, capturing their third straight Championship, and the Junior Red team also triumphed in their division. The Junior Black team, comprised of our newest players, achieved a commendable 6th place in the junior bracket after a challenging victory over SOSS. In an impressive feat, GFSS teams also swept the Spirit awards, earning both the junior and senior titles – a rare and highly valued accomplishment in Ultimate Frisbee. Well done, GFSS and thank you coaches!
Next week, we recognize Earth Day, appreciate our Administrative Assistants, practice democracy with Student Vote, and wrap-up with Lip Sync Battle on Friday.
