Yellow Takes the Cup at Sports Day 2017

We couldn't have asked for nicer weather  for Sports Day 2017! I really think we had the perfect combination of sunshine and slight breeze  to break some school records in the cup-of-water-passing and four corner soccer contests!

The day kicked off with  rousing cheers performed by the Grade 4-7 students.  You can watch highlights here. Then the whole school took part  in a series of fun activities  culminating in the hotly contested tug-o-war on the field.  The competition was tough, the Red team fought hard, but their  two-year winning streak was broken.  

The final standings were:
First place - Team Yellow
Second place - Team Blue
Third place - Team Green
Fourth place - Team Red

Thank you Mme Lorieau, all the Tennyson  staff,  the Grade 7  students and the ex-Tennyson students who  volunteered on the day to help everything run smoothly.  And, we must give a big shout out to Eric Rallison (and his spreadsheet) and all the Grade 5 parents  who manned the grill and served up refreshing freezies and treats.  The awesome barbecue and concession stand added to the carnival atmosphere of the day.

And a HUGE thank you to Tennyson dad Mark Volk from Maple Leaf Foods for donating the all-beef wieners!
