Assemblies

The first assembly of the year was held with much ceremony. We even held a parade of teams much like the parade of countries that open the games. The teams were led around the gym by the leading point earner who carried a torch. Music played as she led first her team around the gym, joined by the other two teams after each had completed a lap. Each new team carried their 'banner' as they joined the parade.
Unveiling of their team names and chants took place and the teams found out their placement - bronze, silver or gold.
In December, each team received an Olympic mascot to complete their teams. One lucky person from each team will eventually win the mascot assigned to their team.

New AR Year

Our year has been especially busy it seems. This is the first chance I've had to update how the new year is going.

Because of the Olympic Games being held this year in Vancouver, BC , the teachers decided that 'On the Road to the Olympic Games' should be our theme this year. From September until the games begin on Feb. 12, our goal is to use our points as kilometres and try to get to Vancouver from Sturgis, Saskatchewan.

Each team was selected from the type of Olympic events participating in the Winter Games. We divided the school into 3 teams - gold, silver, and bronze at each month assembly. They were assigned skating, sledding and skiing.
