ACHIEVEMENTS

SPAGHETTI BRIDGES

Last week Friday, some grade 11 and 12 students competed at the annual Okanagan College Spaghetti Bridge Competition. Two bridges survived holding 1 kg for a minute, but unfortunately they were too heavy to reach the podium.

GAMING AROUND AND UNO CHAMPIONS

The LC has been busy these past two weeks. First, we had "Family game night @ lunch" week with tons of great new games such as Upwords, and Yahtzee. Staff and students participated had fun with friendly competition -at least I think it was friendly. Then, this past week we had our 2^nd annual UNO tournament, with lots of qualifiers and ultimately we crowned a champion who won in a lightning round. Thank you to all staff and students who partook in the event. See you next year!

Small School. Big Family.
