Pink Shirt Day’s (held on Wednesday) main theme this year was cyber-bullying. The day was meant to combat cyber-bullying by THINKING before POSTING something NEGATIVE, and instead using the internet to spread KINDNESS. Students and staff showed their support by wearing pink for the day. Way to stand up Mustangs!

The Junior Boys basketball team traveled to Renfrew on Wednesday to compete in the EOSSAA "A" regional championship. In their preliminary pool games, the Mustangs defeated Almonte District High School 41-29 and St. Thomas Aquinas (Russell) 37-28 to advance to the championship game. Their opponent, Glengarry, competed against Rideau (Elgin) and St. Joseph (Renfrew) earlier in the day to eventually meet St. Mike's in the final. In a see-saw battle between two weary teams, the score was tied after three quarters. Unfortunately for our boys, Glengarry made some tough shots in the 4th to pull ahead and claim the Gold Medal. St. Mike's is very proud of the accomplishments of our Mustang Juniors who won the LGSSAA title and now the Silver Medal at EOSSAA. Special thanks to volunteer community coach Dennis Brookson for giving your time to our student-athletes again this year - great job Coach! [Photo credit: Mike Martin]

Pink Shirt Day’s main theme this year is cyber-bullying. The day is meant to combat cyber-bullying by THINKING before POSTING something NEGATIVE, and instead using the internet to spread KINDNESS. It is our hope at St Michael that staff and students create a huge Sea of Pink Shirts on Wednesday Feb. 28th 2018. Students will also be signing a pink shirt Pledge to say they will not cyber bully.
