The Golden Shoe and the Olympic Run
The Golden Shoe and the 2024 Olympic Games mascot were presented in the hall on Monday, Oct. 12.
The Golden Shoe goes to the grade that uses active transportation the most.
The Walk to School project encourages children to use active transportation for their daily trips to and from school. For three weeks, students recorded how they traveled to school.
Grade 4 won at the lower primary level, while grade 7 took first place at the middle primary level.

The Olympic Games mascot is awarded to the grade that runs the farthest in the Olympic Run, held on Sept. 28; this year, grade 6 won with 200 km, averaging 8.3 km per student.
Grades 4 and 7 tied for second place with 215 km and 185 km, respectively, each averaging 7.4 km per student.
