 I witnessed the sweetest exchange in our classroom yesterday. Someone's popcorn went missing, resulting in copious amounts of tears and sobbing. Another student, who had two bags, graciously and without hesitation gave one to the other student. Both were smiling- the first because he had some popcorn, the second because he had made his friend happy. We talk often in class about working together as a team and how if one of us loses, we all lose but if we work together we can all win. Life is not a competition. He who has more does not win. Life is a collaboration and the world recognizes and rewards those that can work as a team. Team Awesome certainly has a great start understanding the benefits of thinking beyond themselves.
B.C. Lions Fanfest is returning to Hillside Stadium. The City of Kamloops, in partnership with the B.C. Lions, is hosting the fifth annual B.C. Lions Fanfest, presented by BC Egg, on June 7. The event will run from 12:30 pm to 5 p.m. at Hillside Stadium. B.C. will practice from 1:30 pm to 3 p.m. and an autograph session will follow at 3:15 pm. The Leos will conduct a football clinic from 4 p.m. to 4:45 pm, offering children ages 6 to 13 a chance to learn from the professionals. Fans will enjoy entertainment, including performances by the Felions (the Lions’ cheerleaders) and have a chance to meet Leo the Lion.
“Kamloops is our home away from home for training camp so it gives us great pleasure to bring Fanfest to the city of Kamloops again this year,” said Jamie Taras, director of community relations for the Lions. “Fanfest is all about embracing the community and interacting with the fans.” Other activities include inflatable games and face painting. There will also be a merchandise tent on site. There will be free hot dogs from Premium Brands and both the Kamloops Lions Paddlewheelers and local food truck Eats Amore will have lunch available for purchase, with proceeds going to Kamloops Community Football.
