Cheering on Canada — and learning along the way

Heather Thomas, Principal, Head of School
Dear Greenwood Community,

It was a joy and a heartbreak to gather in our gym to cheer on the Canadian Women’s Hockey Team last week. What a game to witness! We were pleased to surprise our students with a viewing party. While the outcome wasn’t exactly what we hoped (nor for the Men’s Team on Sunday), the game and the Olympics gave us a chance to come together, cheer on Canada and witness people achieve their dreams. 

The Olympics provided us with a great reminder of the importance of grace under pressure and resilience, and the fact that sometimes in life, things don’t turn out exactly how we want them to. It’s what we learn from those moments that can really inspire us and help us grow. 

The world’s Paralympic athletes are set to begin competing next week in Milano Cortina and we wish them all the best in their Olympic pursuits.

Back here at Greenwood, our own winter athletics season has wrapped up. We will celebrate our teams next week at our Athletics Assembly.

Go Greenwood and Go Canada Go!
