St. Joe’s Catholic High School is well known for its tremendous spirit and the grade eights, of course, are no exception.
Leading up to and including the weeks of the Olympics, Ms. O’Gorman’s grade eight class corresponded with Leslie Wirth, Deputy Chief of Emergency Services for the County of Renfrew. Leslie worked as a volunteer in the Athletes Village located in Whistler, B.C.
From preparing for the Olympics to Alexandre Bilodeau’s gold medal, the grade eights e-mailed
Leslie great questions and in return she sent back very informative answers. To cheer on Team Canada, Ms. O’Gorman’s class also sent some fantastic pictures. They worked diligently to design and paint the signs and they were very pleased with the results of their efforts.
Leslie visited our class on Friday, March 12 to share her experiences. Along with her stories she also brought with her a slide show presentation showing pictures of the Athlete’s Village and memorabilia given to her by various athletes from around the world.
GO TEAM CANADA!
