Junior Fun-a-Rama

On Friday, February 7, all of the students in Grades 3 to 7 participated in the Fun-a-Rama House Event. Fun-a-rama is an annual competition where each house builds teams for a variety of relays, obstacle courses, and other surprise events. Throughout the event, every student will represent their house several times. Our Grade 7 House Leaders are the key planners and organizers of this massively fun event. For nearly two hours Rand Gymnasium was rocking with the music, cheering, stomping, and clapping that come with outstanding spirit and sportsmanship. After it was all said and done, a big congratulations goes out to the Green House for capturing their second consecutive Fun-a-Rama victory.

Food Bank Frenzy!

On October 11, our young Yorkies took to the field for Food Bank Frenzy. It is one big relay that has provided a fun and active way for our school to support the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society for over 10 years. 

The goal of the Food Bank Frenzy is to raise awareness of the Food Bank’s needs, to show off our school spirit, and of course, to have a friendly House competition. Each House Team must race 200 non-perishable food items around the course. It is amazing to watch 800 items of food zip around the field. When we add the surplus items and generosity of our Grade 1 and 2 students, our community collected over 1000 items of food for the GVFB!

A big thank you to our House Leaders who prepared their teams. Also, a big thank you to each family for your donation. Way to go York House!Â
