从Piitoayis Family School的学生们有幸与加拿大2018年冬奥会女子冰球队的成员见面。
1月17日，来自Piitoayis家庭学校的学生们有幸在加拿大2018年冬奥会女子冰球队离开韩国之前与队员们见面。
学生们不仅有机会看到女队员们的比赛，还有机会亲自与一些队员见面，特别是来自萨斯喀彻温省科迪第一民族的后卫Brigette Lacquette。学生们为这一事件出现在晚间新闻中感到兴奋。
Bridgette Lacquette通过她与教室冠军圈项目的志愿工作成为Piitoayis家庭学校学生们的导师。在Brigette和教室冠军创作的视频的帮助下，学生们学习了目标设定、团队合作和坚持不懈。孩子们终于有机会亲自见到Brigette，他们感到非常高兴。她是我们学生们的榜样，她的生活向所有学生，尤其是土著学生传递了一个信息：他们也有能力取得高水平的成就。
除了见到我们的教室冠军，Piitoayis家庭学校的鼓组还有机会向Bridgette以及Melody Daoust、Marie-Philip Poulin和Bailey Bram表达敬意。鼓手们用一首赞颂之歌和礼物向这些女子致敬。我们祝福他们和加拿大队在韩国好运，并在整个比赛中为他们加油助威。
On January 17th students from Piitoayis Family School had the amazing opportunity to meet with members of Canada’s 2018 Winter Olympic Women’s Hockey Team before they left for South Korea.
Not only did students get to watch the women in action, but they had the chance to meet some of the players in person, specifically Brigette Lacquette, defense from Cody First Nation of Saskatchewan. Students were excited to see this event covered on the evening news.
Bridgette Lacquette is a mentor to the students at Piitoayis Family School through her volunteer work with the Classroom Champions Circle Program. Students have been learning about goal setting, teamwork and perseverance with the help of videos created by Brigette and the Classroom Champions. The children were overjoyed to finally meet Brigette in person. She is a role model for our students and her life is a message to all students, and Indigenous students in particular, that they too are capable of high level achievement.
In addition to meeting our Classroom Champion, the Piitoayis Family School drum group had the opportunity to honor not only Bridgette, but also Melody Daoust, Marie-Philip Poulin and Bailey Bram. The drummers honored these women with an honor song and gift. We wished them and the rest of Team Canada good luck in South Korea and cheered them on throughout the games.
