The Crispell Olympics have begun!

Crispell’s annual multi-week Olympic event kicked off on Friday, March 4, with the opening ceremonies, an exciting event for all.

Five middle school students dressed in traditional Mexican garb, with sombreros and ponchos. One is holding a sign that says Mexico

 

The parade of nations was a highlight for the spectators, as those representing the 30 nations carried the country’s flag and even dressed the part, in some cases. Crispell SRO Chuck Kelly led the parade carrying the Crispell torch.

Have a look at some highlights of the parade of nations!

Over the next five weeks, students will compete in both academic and athletic events. They will research different countries, learning pertinent facts about them and compete in trivia contests. There is even a door decorating contest!

A classroom door decked out in yellow and blue like the flag of Panama There are green decorations all around the door.

Athletically, events such as cornhole, tug of war, kick ball, hockey and ski jump (on the Wii game console) will keep our athletes in the Olympic mood.

Four middle school students in a gymnasium carrying the flag of France. They have it on their shirts too. And some are dressed as Frenchmen, with berets and mustaches.

This event brings the whole building together, according to Principal John Boyle, who emceed the event. Kindness is a key component in this Olympics and we celebrate unity, Assistant Principal Chris Mummery added. Of course, there is a medal ceremony at the conclusion so there is that competitive element involved.

Four students stand together holding the flag for Great Britain. The girl on the left is holding a sign that says Great Britain.

Let the games begin!
