Mr. Dodds - Grade 3's learn the game of lacrosse

On November 7 and 8 we are having a special visitor come to Thorncliffe Park to work with all of our Grade 3 classes. Jim Calder is a former Team Canada lacrosse player, author of the book Lacrosse: The Ancient Game and a member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

He will get a chance to meet with each class for 50-60 minutes over the 2 day session. Jim will give our students a brief history of lacrosse in Canada and how it relates to our First Nations people. Each class will have an opportunity to practice basic skills and use these skills in a fun game at the end.

We are looking forward to Mr. Calder's visit and thank him for this special experience.
