Olympic Pride

Our little town of Oakville was buzzing with excitement on Thursday, January
7, 2010 when the Olympic Torch came through our town. Even though it was
very, very cold out; the streets were lined with people to cheer on the
torch bearers who made their way through our community. A HUGE THANKS to
Oakville School and their staff who lit the Olympic Spirit in our kids.
They basically cancelled classes for the day and hosted Festival Du'Oakville
and it was awesome. The students were put into teams and spent the day
going from one event to another and learning all about the Olympics along
the way. The Parent Council even set up an event afterwards so that the
kids were able to go to the Community Hall and continue on with the
celebration. It was an awesome day, full of community pride and Olympic
spirit. Here are a few pictures of this memorable day. PS - my oldest two
boys were lucky enough to actually get to hold the flame! What a
memory.....
