Good Sportsmanship



Good Sportsmanship by Richard Armour
Good sportsmanship we hail, we sing.
It’s always pleasant when you spot it.
There’s only one unhappy thing:
You have to lose to prove you’ve got it.

Watch this touching story of good sportsmanship from an American high school basketball team. As the commentor said: The decision wasn't obvious...but it was the right thing to do.
Here is another example of good sportsmanship...amazing!!
I guess we must take the good with the bad...here is a Top 10 of the worst sportsmanship.
And finally, one last glimpse of poor sporstmanship.

A Class Divided







We had such an interesting discussion on discrimination and racism after watching the documentary A Class Divided. What a powerful lesson for people to learn. It's just too bad there is still a need to have to teach people to empathize with one another and treat people with compassion and respect. Imagine how wonderful our world would be without all the -isms and discrimination...

Celebration of Light







Matthew 5:13-16:

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? ... You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.


Bravo 8ieme Annee!

I was so proud of you all...Excellent work on your Life In Colour projects!
