Students and staff enjoyed glorious sunshine as they participated in the MFPS Olympic Day.  Staff organized teams and events which lasted throughout the day.  OPP Constable Derek Wickett and Principal Rick Thorne carried the Canadian flag and the MFPS Olympic flag through a corridor of cheering students up to the doors of the school.  Everyone then assembled on the field as the torch was carried into the 'stadium' by Mrs. Lemay (see photo).  A number of staff 'ran' the torch along until the ‘Olympic’ cauldron was lit.  The official opening ceremonies then took place in the gym.  Students were placed on teams and competed in events such as biathlon, snowshoeing (see photo), curling and broomball (see photo).  Many got into the spirit of the games by dressing in the colours of their country.  After the 'games' were concluded, the student athletes returned to the gym for closing ceremonies.  Based upon the faces of students and comments, it was a very successful day.  Many thanks to the staff for organizing and working to make it such a great day.  Special thanks to the committee - Mrs. Lemay, Mrs. Marshall and Mr. Andreasen.
