Our students participated in the Saint’s Junior Invitational Swim Meet before the winter break and had some exciting results. Our Grade 3 team and our Grade 5 team both earned first place in their respective divisions. Alexandra Turvey set a new record in the 50 Meter Fly event and our Grade 3 4×25 Meter Relay team broke the record as well.
