February 22 was Olympic Day for Golden Valley School’s elementary students. We couldn’t have asked for better weather for our activities. The day began with the parade of nations, a torch relay, the lighting of the Olympic cauldron and opening ceremonies. Students thoroughly enjoyed themselves as they participated in a wide range of Olympic sports. Simulated events included ski jumping, biathlon, speed skating, alpine skiing, skeleton, bobsleigh, freestyle skiing, cross-country skiing and curling. The hot chocolate, as well as the fruit and cheese kebabs were a huge hit at the rest station. A very brief closing ceremony to extinguish the cauldron and mark the end of the competition was held at the end of the day. The next morning all of the athletes gathered in the cafeteria for the medal ceremonies, the recognition of Olympic values ambassadors, a cheering competition and to watch a slideshow of the Olympic day activities.

 * __St.Johns School:__ The weather was great for two out of the three afternoons for our Olympic Carnival outdoors. Then we had to bring the Olympics inside our school on the third day due to rain. In any case, it was a great success. Every class created and presented their mascot at the opening ceremonies. Then to the games!!! We participated in many fun filled Olympic related sports (our version of certain sports of course). Everyone had fun building Inukshuks, bobsledding, freestyle skiing, biathlon and more. Off course to warm our hearts, we also enjoyed a delicious cup of hot chocolate. It was a lot of planning but worth every minute!!!



Hope we will all keep the fun and joyfull activities in our mind !!! It was filled of activities it was the best 3 day carnival ever !!!
