It took sudden death overtime for the teachers to claim a victory in this year's Teachers' vs Students' hockey match up. A lot of shots reached the back of the net in a fun filled afternoon that saw a lot of laughs and memories created by both sides. The students will have to wait for warmer weather in our annual softball game in June for revenge!
Congratulations to our very own Shariq in Mrs. Simmons' grade four class. Shariq along with his classmates recently particpated in an online Math competition. Shariq won 3rd place out of 30 000 participants and the class won a subscription to Arcademics. Well done Shariq!
Students in grades 3-5 Immersion had a unique learning opportunity this week. They were lead by professional wood carver, Charles "Woodchuck" Bernard, through a series of wood carving learning sessions. Each student and teacher were trained how to create a wood carved end product over a four day period. It was amazing how quickly everyone learned to carve and it was a wonderful learning experience for all!

Our third annual GG Cup unfolded today with the Canadiens team claiming title to this year's cup! A fun time was had by all and it was a great way to spend the day in the Canadian outdoors. A special thanks goes out to the "GG Elves" who cleaned off our rink and donated benches for the event before the day of festivities even started. Gretna Green is a great place to be!
