3. Killa Crossover basketball Tour - Wednesday at MTS Center when you go to ticketmaster.ca , look for killa crossover tour, when purchasing a ticket it will have a box beside that says password and you would type in "school" for the reduced rate.

4. The MHSAA is currently looking at creating a new awareness or branding for high school sport. One possible suggestion may be the use of the terminology "SchoolSport Manitoba" as a way to identify high school sport.

We are hoping that school graphic arts and communication departments, may consider assisting in the development of this campaign by having students submit possible logos or other ideas in which to promote school sport.

The MHSAA will be awarding prizes for submissions. Can you please pass on this information to the relevant teachers in your school and ask them to contact Morris (morris@mhsaa.ca, or 925-5641) for more information.
