Congratulations CSS Ski & Snowboard Team

Seven of the ten Chatelech students that raced last Sunday on the Ski and Snowboard long course in Whistler placed in the top ten. In Boys Snowboarding, Levi Pearl came in first place, Gabe Crudele placed second and Will Magnussen secured ninth place. Pearl Deasey won first place in the Girl's Snowboarding category and Evelyn Klassen placed fifth.  In Girls Skiing, Ingrid Bryson placed third and Paige Franken, a grade 8 student new to the team, came in eighth. Malcolm Stoddart had two extremely fast races but hit a gate after he was forced to take a third race due to mechanical difficulties with the timing equipment. Alex Piepjohn was seconds away from the top ten, and Nolan McKenna is steadily climbing the ranks in his first year on the team.

Textile Wizard

I covered Ms. Marsh's Textile 9 class yesterday and one of her students was working on her quilted pillow. I stopped by today and she had completed it. The stitching is well done and the zipper she put in was flawless.  Well done!
