ACHIEVEMENTS

CHESSING

Some of our chess champions went down to St. Joes to play fun exhibition games with the grade 6 classes. This note came from Mrs. Hopley, “Thank you to Markus, Emrys, and Owen for taking time today to spend with our students! They were SO excited to tell me all about it when I taught them at the end of the day. They are really inspired to keep learning about the game of Chess!”

So great to see our Mustangs mentoring this way!

INTERNATIONAL NEWS

The international students had a great time learning how to curl for the very first time. Who knew that this Olympic sport could be so challenging. The students were amazed at how light you could throw the rock and how far it could go with the help of sweeping the ice. Many laughs, falls, and fun were had.
