***Gr. 6/7 Boys’ Basketball Schedule has been posted. Please click on the “Gr. 6/7 Boy’s Basketball tab above…
Please check the weekly schedule below… The weekly Athletic Schedule is at the end of this Post…
**** REMINDER… **** Coaches are Volunteers. Teachers who Coach a School Athletic Team don’t get paid and Coaching is not part of our Job Description. We do not get paid to open the gym in the early morning, at lunch, after school, on the weekends, or when we take our teams to weekend tournaments. Educators Volunteer to Coach because we know the opportunities that playing on a school sport team provides for our students and the potential doors that are opened for them. By participating on a school team, students contribute to school culture and they are provided the opportunities to work on their overall development, growth, and wellbeing. We encourage all of our SMS Students to get involved in our SMS Athletic Program by trying a sport they like and participating on one or more of our school teams each year. Those who are committed and get involved, open doors.
Our SMS Staff would like to thank everyone for their continued support of our Athletic Program at Shuswap Middle School.

Reminder… 5 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness and Resiliency …
1. Get up Early… when the alarm goes off, don’t hit the snooze … get out of bed…
2. Make Your Bed as a Habit… as soon as you get up make your bed - perfectly! Start the day with a Win!
3. Do Work… Attend AM Open Gym or if not, do push-ups, sit-ups, etc…
4. When the School Day is Over… Study First … If you have early Bball Practice, then study after practice… If you have late Bball Practice, then stay at school, attend Study Hall and Do Your Work… Read, Re-Read, Write, Re-Write, Review - That’s what homework is…
5. Eat Something You Don’t Like Regularly… as a Habit… Mr. Smith doesn’t let tomatoes be tougher than him… He still doesn’t like tomatoes, but he eats them anyway…
Why do all the things above … because they are usually the last things you want to do… Do the things that you don’t want to do, but that are good for you, and make them a part of your Daily Habits… That’s how one Develops Mental Toughness… Doing hard things on a regular basis!

***Saturday night (January 25th), at Thompson Rivers University, in Kamloops, the TRU Men’s and Women’s Basketball Teams are playing their last home games of the season, and it is Senior’s Night - Women play at 4PM and the Men play at 6:00PM. Former Shuswap Middle School and SAS Grad, Evan Smith will be recognized as a fifth year senior who will be graduating after five years with the WolfPack Mens’ Basketball Team and a Degree in Business Administration. As a middle school, junior high, and high school student/athlete, Evan attended all of TRU’s Senior nights over the years with his family, and as a youngster, Evan dreamt of one day playing for the WolfPack Mens’ Basketball Team. Through his hard work, dedication, commitment to excellence, and dreaming big, Evan manifested his own Senior’s Night at TRU, which will happen this Saturday. What makes the night even more special is that TRU will be playing against UNBC where current Shuswap Middle and SAS Grad Marcus Nickles is playing in his freshman year. As Evan leaves his journey as a basketball player, Marcus continues his journey as a basketball player. Over the years, Evan has mentored, trained, and worked out with Marcus, and helped the next generation see their dreams come true. It will be a special night. If time permits, load the family into the vehicle and head to the TRU Campus in Kamloops… It’s were Dreams start and for some… come true.
