We Can Skate!

Over the past 3 weeks our class was privileged to be part of the RBC learn to skate program sponsored in part by the City of Toronto and the TDSB.

Friday was our last session and I can not tell you how proud I am of our class!  They truly took the opportunity that they were given and enjoyed every minute of it.  I was amazed at how so many of you were so hesitant that first week, and by week three you were skating along without a care in the world.

We were also lucky enough to meet Cheryl Pounder, a two time Olympic gold medalist with the Canadian Woman's Hockey Team.  She truly was inspirational to hear, and it was neat to get her autograph and see her in person.

The Toronto Sun also came and interviewed Jeet about his thoughts on the skating program.  You can see the video and the article here:

Below are some pictures of us skating this week.

I also want to applaud you all on your behavior when we were at the rink.  You were very polite, respectful, and represented Bellmere well. 

Way to go P2!

Thanks again to RBC, The City of Toronto, Ms. Legassie, Ms. Klipa and the TDSB for making this happen for us.
