Northern Spirit Games
On February 28, 2017 Mr. Mogavero's grade 4/5 class travelled to St. John Paul II C.S.S. to participate in the 12th annual Northern Spirit Games. Since 2002 over 22,000 students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 have participated in these annual athletic, cultural and spiritual celebrations that take place at a number TCDSB sites. The students are taught ten indoor and outdoor activities based on traditional First Nations, Métis and Inuit games, which focus on physical strength, agility and endurance.
Below are some pictures all the fun we had doing activities that day (more pictures will be posted soon after as well).
