The Student Executive were on a mission to put the “fun” back in Founders’ Day this week, with games and and trivia leading up to the big day on Friday. Today at lunch there was a vintage uniform contest. These Senior girls did a great job of modelling:

Kudos to the Math Challenger participants (Angel, Emily, Melissa, Jalisa and Rainy) for spending their Saturday at UBC yesterday competing in the Math Challengers provincial.
The girls didn’t bring home the championship trophy, but were happy to have made it this far. Great job, girls!
