Because imagination is more important than knowledge.

Team Canada

Team Canada paid David Thompson School a visit today in advance of the World Skills Competition being held in Calgary. DTS and Acadia students welcomed the team at a Pep Rally, and  number of dignitaries spoke to the assembly, wishing them good luck.

The event was ably MCed by Chantal and Lauren.  They even made it to the local news!

And the kids seemed pretty excited.

The day began with the pep rally, but continued with a rotation of student through a mini skills competition in the areas of math, construction, design, technology, and foods. The morning ended with a BBQ lunch for students…

… and then an impromtu bridge building competition between teachers.

Please take a look at the DTS Flickr page for larger versions of these, and more photos form the day’s events.
