Welcome to South Kelowna Elementary School!
SKE Joins the Adopt an Olympic Athlete Program
SKE has adopted Olympic hopeful, and former SKE student, Kelsey Serwa, in her bid to make the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver. The program is aimed at inspiring students to be the best they can by following their dreams and learning that they can make a difference so long as they take the initiative to do so. With the joint effort of Kelsey and SKE, this will be a stepping stone in making that difference. Kelsey does not yet know if she is on the Canadian team yet because the team has not been named. However, she is one of the top Canadian Ski Cross athletes and is definitely in the running! Kelsey will be coming to SKE several times this fall and winter to meet with students and staff, present to students and share infomration on living a healthy lifestyle.
Students and staff will be holding some fundraising events in order to help Kelsey with expenses associated with making Team Canada. T Her first visit is on Tuesday, October 27.
The Olympic flame was lit last Wednesday and is travelling through Greece. The Olympic flame arrives in Victoria, BC on Friday, October 30. The torch will travel throughout Canada (longest relay ever.) As of Monday, there are 109 days till the Winter Olympics begin in Vancouver and the torch is lit. Check out our Olympic bulletin Board in the foyer and you can find plenty of information about Kelsey and Ski Cross. More information, activities and updates will be provided throughout the year.
