Volunteer Coaches – We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers
who are helping to allow school Athletics to happen at Clayton Park. It takes time,
interest, and commitment to step forward and take on the many roles that are needed in
having a team at the junior high level. We have our teachers who take on the roles of
coaches and teacher advisors. This is a great support to our students. The parents, former
students and non-parent coaches who come into our building to take hours out of their
very busy lives to enhance the students’ skills, self esteem, sense of belonging,
friendships, and success academically. With the team of adults and former students that it
takes to offer the programming at our schools our students are served with the greatest
support system available. It is always wonderful to see our former students giving back to
our CPJH community! They are always welcome here! Thank you again to all those who
help contribute to our students.

Cross Country – This team is being led by Mr. Derek Norris. Thank you, Mr. Norris.
The team was small but very strong this year with the Junior Boys and Girls having
strong finishes in their first meet. Although we did not place top 15 to qualify for
provincials the team competed well in the Regionals.

Girls Soccer – The Girls Soccer team was led by two strong coaches – Mrs. Chris Trifos

expertise to our girls We will be sad to see you move on with Katie to high school. Thank
you, Don, for coaching this year and offering to help coach again next year! Our students

are soon going to begin our season. Good luck, girls. Thank-you for all your hard work

challenge of coaching the Boys’ Volleyball team. It has been very challenging to have the

lunch time practices. We have the practice schedule finally set and we should be off to an
exciting start with a promising season.
