Our weekend boarding program was off to a great start this past weekend! From the thrill of the great outdoors to the excitement of a live sports event, new and returning boarders came together to explore Toronto and get to know each other better.
The weekend kicked off with a community ‘Friday Night Lights’ event, where boarders gathered on the Oval for various sports and activities including football, soccer and ultimate frisbee. Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as friendships were strengthened through teamwork and competition. It was a fantastic way to connect and enjoy the fresh air.
On Saturday afternoon, the excitement reached its peak as we embarked on an unforgettable adventure to watch the Blue Jays in action from an exclusive suite in the Roger’s Centre. The cheers, the competition, and the joy of witnessing our home team's triumphs up close left us all in awe. It was a night to remember for the 25 boarders who attended. Each boarder also received a complimentary hat and scarf at the event, a memento to remember the occasion. A special thank you to Mr. Del Zotto, Mr. Heffernan and Mr. Sontag, who attended the game with our boarders.
Sunday brought a change of pace as Mr. Hill and 15 boarders headed to the picturesque ‘Docks’ driving range located on the Toronto harbourfront. Swinging clubs and sending golf balls soaring against the backdrop of the serene waterfront was a peaceful yet invigorating experience. Boarders new to golf enjoyed learning more about the game from those who were more experienced with the game.
Amidst all the excitement, there were moments of simple pleasure as well. We gathered, shared stories, and enjoyed delicious food, fostering bonds beyond the classroom. These moments of togetherness reminded us of the unique sense of community that our boarding program provides. This weekend was a blend of adventure, sportsmanship, relaxation, and friendship. It encapsulated the spirit of our boarding community, where we learn and grow academically and build lasting memories and connections that will stay with us for a lifetime. Here's to many more weekends of unforgettable experiences!
