LA P' TITE ÉCOLE
Budding with
purpose
At La p'tite école, our youngest learners proved that athletic achievement isn't just
for the big leagues, it's a way to build skills that will stay with them for life.
Throughout the school year, students from JK to Grade 1 took part in skill-building
activities that balanced fun with purpose. Rock climbing encouraged calculated
risk-taking, skating offered a way to spend joyful moments with family, swimming
built essential safety and life skills and biking encouraged independence and
confidence on the move. These activities structure the early stages of improving
motor skills while also laying the groundwork for healthy habits and developing the
hand-eye coordination essential for future sports students may choose to pursue.
At the Junior School, athletics took a
value-driven turn and the results were
nothing short of inspiring. Instead of
the traditional Most Valuable Player
model, each team celebrated four
players who best embodied TFS'
core values: integrity, discernment,
respect and engagement. By doing
so, it emphasized character over
competition and ensured every
student saw the purpose of sport.
Coaches and peers alike recognized
players who lifted their teams with
leadership and effort. Athletics at the
Junior School not only serve as a
foundation for students beginning
their journey in sports, but also as an
extension of the classroom where
TFS values have an area to shine.
