Nelson Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony
T
he Nelson Olympics started on Friday with an opening ceremonies orchestrated by the one and only Mr. Gurniak. After parading down the stage and through the gym in our classes, we were able to sit back and relax in our classrooms to watch the rest of the Opening Ceremonies which included choir performances and various exciting videos of the Olympic Games. The Nelson Olympic flag was raised, the torch was lit and we all recited the Olympic Oath (as seen below).
