Olympians Visit Vista Heights School

Vista Heights was one of the the lucky schools to get selected for the Olympians visit. 

Today,  Ivanie Blondin and Philippe Marquis visited our school. We were fortunate to hear

 their life experiences from them. In the morning, we viewed news clips of the two athletes.  Philippe  is a mogel skier

and Ivanie is a speed skater.

  All Vista Heights also were given the opportunity to fee Ivanie Blonden's speed skating skin suit.

Ivanie's message to Vista Heights, " Never give up, even when its tough, try again. Always follow your dreams. "

Phillipe's message to Vista Heights, "If you want to be the best in the world, you need to commit. It is not always pretty. You have your ups and downs to get to your dreams. 
Never give up your dreams! Stay passionate and having a dream makes a difference of what you chose to do in life."

   The Olympians messages connected to one of our virtues, " Perseverance"
Perseverance is commitment, hard work, belief patience and endurance. It is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaints. It is also the act of trying and not giving up.

        Olympians gave Vista Heights a poster with all the names of all the Olympians who   
                                      participated in the Sochi Olympics 2014
