The Nelson Olympics started on Friday with an opening ceremonies orchestrated by the one & only Mr. Gurniak. After parading in with our house teams we watched a slideshow of the adventures & activities of Nelson students during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. The Nelson Olympic flag was raised, the torch was lit & all students recited the Olympic Oath.
