Massive Update 2.0

First off we have some pictures from our Pink day earlier in the school year:

Second, I have a little mini write for our resident debaters:

"Caoimhe Anderson and Kate Godlien placed first at the Kootenay Regional Debate Winter Classic Tournament in Trail , BC, January 14th.  Both students have qualified for the Law Foundation provincial finals this spring, a first for both DTSS and the East Kootenays."

Next I have another write up from our group who attended the P.A.R.T.Y. program:


"Who: Ciona Thomson, Amanda Elwakeel, Blayr lightfoot.
What/Why: A weekend was spent planning and discussing ways to prevent alcohol and risk related trauma such as drunk driving.
 How: We all took part in team building activities, presentations (both in person and multimedia) and listened stories from local people who have been affected.
When: October 18th 2011
Where: Radium Hot Spring Resort"


Now that we're running close to the second semester everyone has branched off into community outreach projects. The first of which has just ended so here's the write up:

"Who: Kyra, Jackie and Lizz
What: We are assisting Eileen Madsen Primary School with their intramurals basketball program for a week
Where: Eileen Madsen Primary School
When Jan. 16th - 19th during lunch hours
Why: We were approached with an opportunity that would be fun and educational for both ourselves and the students. We agreed that it would be a great way to reach out to the community
How: We will be teaching basic skills, games and drills to the students to improve their abilities in basketball."


That's all for now, look forward to more!
