The Student Government is putting on this daring challenge on Dec. 2nd. You will be able to experience the race to the finish. Each team will have to work together to complete their tasks, and each task will be full of surprises, crazy ideas, twists, and things you never imagined. The first team back will win the title of the Amazing Race Champions! (If there is a tie, there will be a Tie Breaker.) Best of all, there is no charge—just bring a snack to share, and you’re IN.

G7/8 Dance

On Friday, December 2, we are going to have the first dance of the year. It is at 7:00 to 9:00 PM and make sure you bring your own water bottle… unless you like dying from thirst. To get in, you should bring your signed permission slip and either a snack to share or 20 RMB. You can pick up a permission slip from the middle school office.

It is dressy, but not formal (by dressy, we mean don’t just wear a t-shirt and shorts). We will have a wall where you can take a picture with some friends for 10 RMB. Money raised from the entrance fee and pictures will be split between Student Government and charity.

Happy holidays and have fun at the dance!

Card Crafting Success!!!

Congratulations to the members of the Card Crafting Club. These hard working kids worked weekly for a month, and then worked the week before the bazaar every day at lunch and after school. Through their efforts, they helped raise over 4500 RMB for a donation to Bao Bei. Thanks from the babies, and congratulations again on your success.

Girls Varsity Basketball Weekend in Review

vs. Dulwich

• The Concordia Varsity Girls improved their record to 5-0 on the season, and 2-0 in SISAC with a hard fought win over the Dulwich Panthers. Playing without an injured Elle Weber, the Phoenix took a quarter to find their stride, dropping behind 10-2 before closing to 12-8 at the end of the first quarter. The Phoenix then stepped up their defensive intensity holding the Panthers to a total of 5 points in the second and third quarters. The girls then put the game away in convincing fashion with a 24-6 run. Cassie Kienle scored a game high 18 points, with Sarah Lynch and Lindsay Maizland scoring 7 each and Sophia Lim, 6. The game turned on two key free throws by Heather Taylor that answered a Dulwich run and started the Phoenix on one of their own to put the  game away. Meggie Wang provided  key rebounding off of the bench, as the Phoenix were dominant on the boards, limiting Dulwich to single scoring opportunities while getting many second-effort baskets on the offensive end.

vs. Melody

• The Phoenix Girls lost for the first time this season, losing to the Melody Basketball Club, 33-27. Concordia put together a good first half and led by four at the break. But Melody came out strong to open the second half outscoring the Phoenix 14-5. The Phoenix fought hard to the end, but could never get closer than three points in the fourth quarter. Lindsay Maizland led all scorers with 10 points and Heather Taylor added 6.
