The school had an Olympic Winter Games for the students of Bridge Lake Elementary School.

The games included “building our own bobsleds,” snow races, snowball throw for distance and building the biggest snowball.

During the opening ceremony, the kindergarten kids brought a paper Olympic flame into the gym. It was a fun afternoon.

The Bridge Lake Community School Society, (BLCSS), held the Annual International Dinner in the Bridge Lake School gym. The dishes were Chinese, Canadian, and Thai.

The gym looked very elegant and the students helped decorate the gym.

There was a silent auction, which gathered money for the school Hot Lunch Program. There was no babysitter for the dinner, so some parents were unable to come as they had a hard time finding one.

There was a Valentine’s dance at school organized by the Leadership Club. The club sold Candy Grams all day to raise money for the BC Children’s Hospital.

I just joined the army cadets and I got a chance to help at the Cariboo Marathon at the 99 Mile Ski Trails. The cadets handed out drinks to the skiers who were passing by for another round of skiing. It was a lot of fun at the Marathon.
