It started with cloudy skies. Grade 7s set up the stations they had organized. We gathered our House Teams in the gym. We gave the Traditional Welcome and sang Oh Canada. We started our colorful parade around the field. It rained. We started the stations. It rained some more. We ate popsicles in the rain. We went inside just before lunch and ate yummy pizza and chips and played quiet games until 1:00. Meanwhile, teachers gathered to eat their pizza (thanks, PAC!) and plan for a rainy afternoon. We adjusted our plans, postponing the hula hoop competition for another day and moving the afternoon’s activities inside.

We performed the cheers in the gym. Mr. Haywood announced that the Edgemont Eagles came first overall in the cheer, citizenship and station competitions. The sun came out. And stayed out and it got warm – better late than never, I suppose!

Thanks to the organizing team of teachers and office staff for another great Sports Day! Thanks to the PAC for the generous donation of pizza, chips and popsicles.
