Thompson Island Trip for grade 8 a success.
The 8th graders had a blast climbing the Alpine Tower at Thompson Island. They worked in groups to learn how to spot, belay, and climb using all the technical equipment-- harnesses, ropes, and carabiners. They cheered each other on as students reached as high as they could on the Alpine Tower and so many students pushed themselves into their "challenge zone" to reach the top! 50 feet above the ground! What a great opportunity!
Next up...Grade 7 overnight to Thompson Island, November 6-8
Boys Soccer Team crowned City Champs!
