SCDSB Catches the Olympic Spirit!

Jennifer Petahtegoose and her daughter Hannah as well as Brianna Nootchtai and her mom Kim braved the cold on Saturday to dance at the Olympic torch lighting ceremony in Sudbury.

January 5, 2010 - As the Olympics draw closer, Canadians can't help but catch the spirit. Some of our SCDSB staff and students were lucky enough to be a part of this historic event this past weekend. One of our teachers from St. Charles College, Jennifer Petahtegoose, and her daughter Hannah, a student at St. James Catholic Elementary danced at the torch lighting ceremony in Sudbury with Kim Nootchtai and her daughter Brianna who is also a student at St. James. As well, Steve Callaghan, our Chaplain at St. Charles College has two sons who are graduates of St. Charles who were both Olympic torch runners for the ceremony.
