Can you believe it’s already March!? We had a fantastic February at Squash on Track and are looking forward to a busy March!
We also did our first Red Star Award Challenges on the squash courts! Putting their skills to a test, they had to complete various challenges such as doing a 10 shot rally, serving from both sides at least four times, naming all the court lines, and more. The students did great and will be working on Bronze, Silver and Gold Stars in the upcoming months.
As a part of our Fridays, we took this month to connect with ourselves and explore our identities. We talked about the identities we can see and identities that we cannot see behind a person without getting to know them. We talked about culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, passions, religion and more! The students then created identity portraits for themselves. The portraits were filled with wonderful symbols representing the various elements of their identities and each presented our portraits to the class. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know one another a bit better, including our tutors as well!

Finally!
Track Star of the Month was Juan D Dios Urbina! Juan worked really hard this month on his listening skills and being extra helpful to Alana and Richard. He has also been attending the Saturday Developmental clinics and shows dedication to becoming a stronger, more respectful squash player. Great job, Juan!
