Eagle Olympics welcomes Grade 9s

Kimberly Froese, left, Abby King and Ryan Wilson of the “Golden Dragons” team were among over 250 East Elgin Secondary School students who participated in the annual Eagle Olympics at Optimist Park in Aylmer on Monday afternoon, Oct. 3. After a barbecue lunch, Grade 9 students were encouraged to get wet and muddy by playing a series of whacky games. The spirit-building event that welcomes new Grade 9 students to EESS is organized each year by the school’s Girls and Boys Athletic Association (GABAA) and other students who volunteer as group leaders or game station leaders.
