Virtual Speed Stacking Tournament Results



The Annual St. James Assiniboia Early Years Virtual Speed Stacking tournament results are in! Students were stacking all day at feverish paces on June 4th for the final submission. 

Big thanks to all the 70 plus students that submitted. Big thanks to all the teachers at the schools for coordinating the video submission and encouraging the students throughout the process. Huge thanks to our Speed Stacking convenor Mr. Vosper at Brooklands for all his hard work during our virtual tournament.

SJASD Community Run



SJASD Community Run 

In the spirit of offering something to share... 

Each year Lakewood Elementary School hosts a community run along with Crestview and Buchanan schools. 
This year Lakewood is extending the invite for anyone to join in a virtual format. 
This is your official invite.
Please share with anyone that would like to take part.
The traditional run is a choice of 2.5km and you can choose to loop once, twice or 3 times.
BUT this year you can run any distance you choose and anywhere you choose.
Essentially, students and families choose their distance, they prepare accordingly, and complete their run between June 13th -18th. 
When you are done we encourage you to submit a picture with signage indicating:

  1. school
  2. distance
  3. name(s)
  4. time (optional)

Please find:
  1. A GPS image if you choose to do the traditional route.
  2. Link to the consent form in the bio  https://bit.ly/2MkBU1K which must be submitted prior to your run (simply print or scan to jeffrey.spiers@sjasd.ca )
  3. A picture of what that photo submission might look like. I've also attached a consent form (which I asked families to simply print or scan, sign, and send back to me). 

When running remember:

  • Stay on the sidewalk if possible.
  • When run/walking on roads, always go against traffic. ...
  • Always yield to vehicles at intersections. Don't assume that cars will stop for you.
  • Obey all traffic rules and signals.
  • It's always best to run with a friend or family. 


The photos will be compiled in a video and posted to youtube on June 19th. 
No expectations, just an invitation.
