Corrections to the June Newsletter
In page 4 of our June Newsletter, we erroneously listed the coach of the Manitoba Champion team from St. Pauls as Johnston Smith. Our apologies to the St. Pauls High School team, and their coach, John Pundyk.Also on page 4, there was also an error in the scores listed in the playoff game between Kelvin and Vincent Massey. The scores were flipped and should have read Kelvin 290 - Vincent Massey 330.
Our apologies.

Welcome to the Reach For The Top / Schoolreach Programme Website
Each year several hundred schools form their "Reach" Clubs and play off against each other at the league level, provincial level, and finally, the National level. The Provincial and National finals in which these Schoolreach teams compete are taped as "Reach for the Top", the television show that started it all. In the classroom, it's the "Schoolreach Subscription Programme" of "Reach For The Top", established in 1985.
