To start, boys coach Kevin Rawlick challenged students to a pie-eating contest and he easily won. Students erupted in cheers, smiles, and laughter.

Also, student-athlete Anna Levia was able to recite the most numbers of Pi and she won the Recite Pi contest. She was a runner-up in the contest the previous two years.

In addition, students paid to throw pies at their coaches, teachers, and principal to raise funds for the local Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. $335 was raised. Pictured above is honour roll student Gabi Davidson Adams after she tossed a pie at Principal Jesse Ferguson.

“We are pleased to raise funds for such a wonderful community organization,” said event co-organizer Jason Setnyk. “Also, one of our staff members is a Big Brother,” said event co-organizer Marc-Andre Roy.

In summary, students had lots of fun participating in a variety of entertaining and amusing games such as the wheel barrel relay.
