MANITOUWADGE, ON – The spirit of sport inspired many, including everyone at Manitouwadge Public School, as the world enjoyed the olympics in Sochi.  MPS students were not only glued to the Olympic events of the week, they were actively living their own Olympics! 

While Canada was vying for their place in men’s hockey, our students’ countries were vying for their own positions in curling (albeit down the front hallway).  We’re quite certain there will be new events in the next Olympics – such as the Chicken Race, Bean Bag Toss, Snowball Race – all which have had their Olympic beginnings under the roof of Manitouwadge Public School.  As in any Olympic beginning, the student countries proudly sported the Olympic flames as they  marched to the event behind the Canadian flag.

Gold, silver and bronze medals were proudly worn in our small community of Manitouwadge last weekend – Way to go MPS Olympians!
