“Swimming makes me happy! It helps take away my stress. Going to practice or even leisure swimming puts me in a good mood and at times I miss practice I do not feel my best self.” -Barbara Krol

The Senior Girls team continues to have a strong season by advancing to the semi-finals next week. On Feb 6, the team beat William Lyon Mackenzie, moving the team to the semi-finals. York Mills had a clean sweep winning comfortably in two sets. The team had played Mackenzie before the game at a tournament at the beginning of the season. Hopefully, the winning streak will continue, and the semi-finals will not conclude the seniors season. Before the quarter-final match, they won all their games, driving their ranking to 1st in tier one with a 5-0 record. The semi-finals are scheduled for next week.
Spirit Week at York Mills

This week, York Mills held the annual “Spirit week” where students had the opportunity to show their holiday spirit before the break. To kick off the week, students walked right out of bed and into school for “PJ Day”! A day where falling asleep in class was perhaps more justified than normal. Next, was twin day. Even if you didn’t have a twin, friends would dress up like each other for this special day. It was like a couple costume for Halloween. Preceding was fandom day. All the different fandoms joined together with the loyalty and determination that is rarely seen in this day and age, except maybe for strikes. Lastly, the most festive of them all, ugly sweater day! Students dug out their ugliest holiday sweaters from their closet and strutted them down the halls with pride. It was truly an amazing week overall.

You Night was created to celebrate and encourage students to feel better about the good and bad in themselves in a formal banquet-type event taking place at our school. On Friday, November 29, 2019, the event was open to parents, friends, and members of our community. With a big turn out, it filled Titan Hall by 7pm where there were various foods and drinks. The most important add-ons were the clubs hosting mental health-related projects. This included finding a balanced meal, free selections of calming teas, “write what a strong woman means to you” boards, workplace stress, and lastly, Mind Support – giving out mental health tips and games to find out your stress levels and steps about what to do next.
