The Mayor was there too!

Yesterday the grade six students from our school had the pleasure of experiencing world-class swimming competition at the WFCU Centre.  Once inside, it was hard to believe that the Windsor Spitfires play hockey in the same venue.  It has been totally converted to resemble the set-up at the recent summer Olympics. All of the electronic signs, moving cameras, camerapeople, multiple athletes and their coaches - all so official! Our students were very well behaved.  I am very proud of them. Check out the photos.

The view from our seats - it was great!
