Second grade Olympians at James A. Dever School competed in their own 2014 Winter Olympics. The Olympics began with the students participating in opening day ceremonies as they proudly paraded through the hallways of the school bearing the James A. Dever Olympic torch and carrying banners supporting their individual teams.
Students competed in such events as snowball pyramid toss, snowball throw, bingo and curling. Throughout the week, the students enhanced their writing skills by keeping an Olympic journal and learning about Russia and the city of Sochi. Each class also visited an assigned classroom where they competed in two events.
Following the closing ceremonies, where the students once again paraded through the school, the young Olympians gathered in the cafeteria to participate in the traditional awards ceremony. Every one was a winner in this Olympics that focused on teamwork, dedication and sportsmanship as well as writing skills and social studies.
