Turner Valley School students attended Foothills School Division's 2011 Flag Football Jamboree, which recently took place at McMahon Stadium.
This event is the "brain child" of Turner Valley teacher Matt Berrigan who developed it as a way to end the season on a 'high note" by giving participating Grade 6 students a special experience on the big turf at McMahon Stadium. (Staff also coordinate a similar event for Grade 7 and 8 students at both FSD and Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools.)
It's a fun day and there are no winners and losers - just students having a great time and celebrating in the spirit of good sportsmanship.
The Turner Valley Tigers were awarded the Mike Evans Cup at the Jamboree. The Cup is given to the Grade 6 league team that most exemplifies sportsmanship throughout the season. Mike Evans is a recently retired FSD principal who was involved in school sports for many years and has taught at many of the schools that participate in the league.
